The soft tuff allowed early Christians to carve churches and monasteries into valley walls; Göreme’s rock-cut chapels preserve frescoes that reflect centuries of monastic life.
Conservation

Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes protect your feet from dust, rocks and ATV footrests on uneven trails.
Hydrate before and during

Use provided helmet and goggles
Helmet use is mandatory and goggles cut dust on open stretches — don’t skip them even on short rides.
