We will enjoy nature where the wind and the weather have eroded the soft volcanic rock, leaving pillars, cones and "Fair Chimneys". Then we are going to come to Goreme, with its rock chapels hollowed out by early Christians. These rock chapels were used by early Christians as secret dwellings for the purpose of protecting themselves from first by their Roman and later by their Byzantine persecutors. These secret dwellings decorated with vivid frescoes, which have withstood the corrosive effects of the time dating from the 6th to the 10th century, would be an unforgettable experience.
