Cappadocia Pilgrimage Tour - This is a tour of the most important and famous temples of Cappadocia. The churches we will visit during this tour belong to the Christian temples of the Orthodox Church, but it will also be interesting for people of other faiths as this tour is also a cultural tour where tourists will be able to appreciate the beauty and splendour of early Christian and Byzantine architecture and painting.
Itinerary of the tour:
- Your first stop will be the Goreme Open Air Museum. This is a huge complex of two dozen churches, eight of which are open to tourists. The list of churches you will visit includes the Tokala Church, the Dark Church, the Sandalia Church, the Apple Church and other churches that are part of the museum. It is worth mentioning that the museum is on the UNESCO list, which shows how important these places are for the cultural heritage of mankind.
- Your next stop will be another open air museum. The Zelve Open Air Museum. In the XI century A.D. the Zelve Rock Monastery appeared on the territory of the museum, which later overgrew several churches and became an important centre of the Christian world at that time. On the territory of the museum there are also the famous churches of Grape, Fish and Deer. This is one of the most important cultural sites in the region and a visit is a must.
- A delicious lunch awaits us before we lazily stretch out to the last stop of our Mustafapasha tour.
-Mustafapasha is a small town that is home to St Stephen's Church, Monastery and St Nicholas Chapel. After visiting the above places, we will go to the Monasteries Valley, there are several truly beautiful temples that will surprise you with the variety of their architecture and painting.
-We will only visit three of these places, but do not let this fool you, as all the places we will visit are large complexes with dozens of different attractions, so our tour will be extremely rich and full of impressions.
