Most Unique museum in the world

I was a bit hesitant initially, given the tours weren't cheap, the whole balloon thing in the morning was a dud and the museum required 20 euros towards entry. I mean it's not much but what if it sucked. On the contrary, this turned out to be the most interesting thing to do in the very touristy Goreme. By the ways, there is an extra 6 euro fee for the old church.

Even as an idea it is so unique, already the fact that there have been people living underground and in the caves for centuries and centuries. Then you get to be in a museum where you explore these churches inside the caves, arts and paints in the rock. A lot of the art or say paintings too were broken and some were destroyed when the great Ottoman empire took over. What would have also been nicer is to have more written descriptions by the things on display.

Be prepared for some climbing and stairs. From the parking lot to here was a climb and then inside there are certain areas with steep stairs. Quite informative and very interesting. Carry something to drink. There is a cafe, just in case you are not carrying water or need a snack. Other than that, I didn't see a toilet.
