Zelve Open-Air Museum

Zelve Open-Air Museum

It was once a monastic settlement that became a village. Today, Zelve has been converted into an open-air museum that showcases the Cappadocian's unique way of life.

This cave town used to be the home of one of the largest communities in Cappadocia where both Christians and Muslims lived in harmony. Due to a rock collapse and erosion, its inhabitants have abandoned Zelve since the 1950s.

Today, the Zelve Open-Air museum is a haven for trekkers and rock climbers because it takes at least two hours to walk through its valleys. Here, you will see some of the oldest examples of Cappadocian architecture and religious paintings.

The ruins of “Geyikli Kilise” or The Church with the Deer houses paintings like the cross, deer, and fish. You’ll also see a rock-cut mosque with a beautiful minaret. Other attractions in Zelve include The Church with the Fishes and The Church with Grapes.

To get to the Zelve Open-Air Museum, it’s best to book your tour with La Vacanza who is an expert in the area.

Aside from providing transportation, you’ll also have a guide to give you some useful information about each structure in Zelve that you’ll see on your tour.
