Another church in Göreme Open-Air Museum is Karanlık Kilise (or, the "Dark Church"), which dates to the 11th c. It was the main church for a monastery here. Its architecture includes 5 domes, 3 apses, and 4 columns, all cut from the tuff rock.

First up is Тоkalı Kilise ("Buckle Church"). Dating to the 900s, it is considered one of the most remarkable cave churches at Göreme. Four churches, elaborately decorated, are built around a monastic cell, which you can see in the photo below.

Out of the caves for a bit and into town! Avanos 🇹🇷 is one of the larger towns in #Cappadocia, with a population of ~15k. It was called Venessa in antiquity. Silt from the Kızılırmakriver provides clay for #pottery, the town's biggest industry.

On the way to Avanos 🇹🇷, we stop at the Sarihan Caravanserai, a 13th century inn built under the Seljuk Sultanate to accommodate merchants and their animals traveling on the Silk Road. Today it hosts nightly whirling dervish ceremonies.

Just about 1 km from Paşabağ are the amazing cave churches of Zelve. Most of these date to the 9th and 10th centuries, but some are as early as the sixth. The area was inhabited until the 1950s.

On the road between Çavuşin and Zelve🇹🇷, we stop at Paşabağ, also called "Monks Valley". Here the landscape displays the amazing multi-headed mushroom rock formations, some 15-20m high into which monks carved cells in the #Byzantine period to live a solitary life.

We've made a big loop and now it's time to head east, stopping at the village of Çavuşin and the church of St John the Baptist, a rock cut church dating to the early 6th century (hear that, my #LateAntiquity & #Byzantine peeps??). It may be the oldest church in #Cappadocia 🇹🇷

Welcome to Catanzaro! Capital of the region of #Calabria and provincial capital. It's known as the city of the three V's -- vento (wind), velluto (velvet), and Vitaliano (the city's patron saint). It's also called the city between the two seas: Ionian and Tyrrhenian.

Next stop for ma figghia and me on our virtual tour of #Cappadocia 🇹🇷 is Uçhisar! The main attraction here is Uçhisar Castle. Located at the highest point in Cappadocia, it served as a defensive and domestic fortress from the Roman through Byzantine periods.
