Cappadocia 2nd part; Exploring Kaymakli Underground city

How to go to Goreme Open-air Museum;
This place is just 1km walk on the main road from Goreme bus terminal. Admission fee is 20TRY. Photography and video (with monopod and tripod) taking is permitted inside.

Göreme Open Air Museum has a collection of caves and fairy chimneys. Be sure to visit the church in a cave across the highway outside the museum entrance, whıch is included in museum admission (save your ticket). The museum is very small and repetitive (church next to church next to church). Some have nice frescos, but other have geometric motifs that can be seen for free in the chimneys across the street (easy hike). The churches are not all that impressive, if you've seen Meteora or other similar churches in Greece.
