Ihlara Valley Turkey

The Ihlara Valley is one of the most spectacular strolls and hiking places in Cappadocia. It is an incredible place with its unique nature, greenery, historic churches and mysterious structure. The Ihlara Valley, which has succeeded in becoming a place and a place for strangers, allows you to go on a journey through history with the churches that are not elsewhere in the world. The Ihlara Valley, 150 meters, has remained almost like a paradise, and when discovered, has managed to attract all attention. Because of the lava flows from the Volcano volcano, this valley is about 14 kilometers long. Reminiscent of a canyon, these unique outstanding churches are found in various historic shelters and cemeteries.

One of the most remarkable historical structures in the Ihlara Valley is the Ağaçaltı Kilisesi. Immediately after you cross the box office, you are located on the lower right side of the stairs that you have not seen. The real entrance gate of this huge church is under the ground. The input used today is the 2nd door that opens directly to Kata. Since the church has seen various restorations for many years, the pictures in it have completely disappeared. However, it is possible to come across Christian figures drawn by straws in places! The church, which is cut into the stones, was climbed into the trees because of the lack of a door in old times according to a custom, and took its name from there.

Another church is the Sümbüllü Church. The monastery sections of this church were built on a huge rock cut in two layers. It is possible to find the most interesting portrayals of the world in the church! One of the depictions depicted a magnificent Mary between Gabriel and Michael, and it became one of the most attracted figures of the Christian world.
