Anyone can see the caves and get a general idea of history, but what were the people's lives like and how does that mesh with our personal life today?

Visit the Selime Church, Ihlara Valley with a private guide
Overview of your Cappadocia tour
The green valley of the dam lake Mamasin and the Melendiz stream ends up at the village of Selime where one finds oneself faced with the church which bears the name of the village and which looks like an apartment house. This church and the fairy chimneys, as they are called scattered all around bewilder us and take us to an entirely different world. The Selime Church is a three-aisled basilica. It has an apse covered with a semi-spherical dome and two lateral apses. The naves are separated from each other by two columns and a pillar. On the northern wall is a chapel with a trough vault. In the barrel- vaulted lateral naves the black and orange frescoes date from the Byzantine times illustrate scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. The tomb of Selime to which the village owes its name is here. The Ihlara Valley is on the left of the road of 36 km coming from Selime and passing through Yaprakhisar amongst other villages. This place formerly called 'peristrema' cut in hard rock reaching some 80-90 m of height.
