    Zelve Open Air Museum

    The Zelve Open Air Museum, on Aktepe's northern slopes, is a historic site featuring three valleys filled with ancient churches, monasteries, and fairy chimneys. A key Christian settlement from the 9th to 13th centuries, its highlights include Balıklı and Üzümlü Churches, the Church of the Holy Cross, and a monastery complex in the third valley. Unique pigeon houses, adorned with primitive art, reflect the region's agricultural ingenuity. Paşabağı (Valley of the Priests) boasts striking multi-headed fairy chimneys, including a chapel dedicated to St. Simeon. Zelve's blend of natural beauty, religious heritage, and architectural innovation offers visitors a captivating glimpse into Cappadocia's past. The supplier will promptly send you an email with your entry ticket as soon as your reservation is confirmed. It is not possible to skip the security lines.
