Itinerary Details

Our guide and driver will meet you at your hotel at 10:00am and you will start touring in magical Cappadocia. We will first drive you to Goreme Open Air Museum. In the late second century, Christians fleeing Roman persecution sought refuge in Cappadocia, where they carved monasteries and churches into the rock formations, with the Göreme Open Air Museum preserving 9 of the original 34 churches.

There are so many scenes in the churches here and some of them are: Annunciation, Visitation, Proof of the Virgin, Journey to Bethlehem and Nativity, Adoration of the Magi, Massacre of the Innocents, Flight into Egypt, Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, Killing of Zacharias, Pursuit of Elizabeth, Calling of St. John the Baptist, Preaching of John, John meeting Jesus, Baptism, Marriage at Cana, Miracle of the Wine, Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, Calling of the Apostles, Healing of the Blind Man, Raising o Lazarus, Entry into Jerusalem, Last supper Betrayal, Jesus before Pilate, Way of the Cross, Crucifixion, Descent from the Cross, Entombment, Women at the Tomb, Anastasis and Ascension.

The second visit will be to St. Jean Church in Gulsehir town. The two floor church of St. Jean, found upon entering Gulsehir, houses a church, wine cellar, graves, water channels and living quarters on the lower floor, and a church decorated with Biblical scenes on the upper floor. According to the inscription on the apse, the church is dated to 1212. Scenes from the life of Jesus and the Bible are in the form of friezes within the borders. Yellow and brown have been used on a black background. On the niche vault and on the sides, floral and geometrical patterns were used. On the west and south walls the Last Judgement can be found, a scene rarely depicted in Cappadocia churches.

Scenes of the St. Jean Church: Deesis on the apse, on its front the Annunciation, below that are bird designs, on the barrel vault portraits of saints in medallions, on the south wing of the vault the Last Supper, Betrayal by Judas, Baptism, below Koimesis (Falling Asleep of Mother Mary), on the north wings of the vault Descent from the Cross, Women at the Tomb, Anastasis, on the West and South walls the Last Judgement.

After having lunch in Avanos town, we will drive you to Pancarlik Church (available to visit between 01st April to 31st October). This church has several scenes that are not seen in any other churches in Cappadocia such as The Samaritan Woman and The Healing of the Man with Bad Spirit. The church has almost the entire life of Jesus on the paintings which made lots of scientists think that this church was a missionary school.
