Mazi Yeralti Sehri

Reviewed By Atam22 - Kuwait City, Kuwait

Mazi is one of many underground cities In cappadocia but this one specially could be acceptable for people who has Claustrophobia because of the high ceiling. Only few stories open for public and amazing lighting inside the cave.

Keslik Monastery

Reviewed By 764usmanm

We hired a car on our week in Cappadocia and were on our way back to Urgup from the Soganli valley (great place) when we saw the sign for the monastery and decided to stop. It’s quite close to Urgup, I would say about 10km. The guide explained that this is a 13th century monastery which originally had a Greek Orthodox Church in it and later on another church was added. The site is quite neat and you have access to spectacular valley views, inside the main church there are numerous frescoes which the guide talks through and explains, it says no photos but I snapped away and the guide did not tell me off...it costs 10tl per person, all good for a bit of history and rest stop on a long drive.
