description |
in a spectacular landscape, entirely sculpted by erosion, the göreme valley and its surroundings contain rock-hewn sanctuaries that provide unique evidence of byzantine art in the post-iconoclastic period. dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns – the remains of a traditional human habitat dating back to the 4th century – can also be seen there. |
