History
Monastic life here expanded between the 11th and 16th centuries as hermits and monks sought isolation; many monasteries remained active through Ottoman rule and are now UNESCO-listed.
Conservation
Visitors should stay on designated paths, avoid touching frescoes, and carry out waste; high foot traffic makes respectful behavior and small-group tours helpful for conservation.
