In general, the churches and the structures carved on the mountains of Göreme are truly a sight to behold especially for history buffs. Although the view was amazing, the entrance to the actual open…Full review by seymouralcantara

We spent 4 days in Goreme and this visit was the most anti-climatic experience. First, the area is not well laid out and completely un-organized. There is quite a bit of climbing, so you need to be i…Full review by Angela C

Hello, how long does the visit take for the open air museum?
A:
Hi, I'd say around 1-2 hours,I personally took 1.5 hours to go through that place but it depends on your timing(whether there are many people there at that time) and your own pace.
Thinking of a trip to Goreme .looks fantastic. How much walking is involved and how difficult is the terrain ? What is the current advise on visiting Turkey?
A:
Walking is not terribly difficult you might want to consider a hiking stick just for added stability if you or a fellow traveler is not surefooted. A car is a plus and will make you much …
Walking is not terribly difficult you might want to consider a hiking stick just for added stability if you or a fellow traveler is not surefooted. A car is a plus and will make you much more flexible. Honestly sidewalks and streets in most cities are more difficult to navigate. We live in Turkey and feel very safe especially a place like Goreme. Keep in mind that on Easter is the referendum vote which is a day to stay close to home and avoid crowds. Also if you get a guide in Goerme you end up at the carpet factory and an hour long sales pitch and at the pottery factory and a sales pitch it is better to get some good guide books and do it on your own. We stayed in the Nostalgia cave hotel and were very happy. A recent traveler booked a hotel and was shuffled to a different hotel due on construction in the booked hotel- don't let them pull that trick on you unless you view the new room first and agree to staying there.
can you pls tell me what is the entry fee for Open Air Museum
A:
25TL per person, but that doesn't include access to the entire museum. Some parts are sectioned off and require an extra fee- I forget exactly how much, but if you want to see the entire …
25TL per person, but that doesn't include access to the entire museum. Some parts are sectioned off and require an extra fee- I forget exactly how much, but if you want to see the entire area, budget extra to be safe. Bring lots of water and be prepared for long lines into the really amazing caves (they're worth it though!).
Could someone please clarify the location of the open air museum? The map on tripadvisor shows that it is about 1km east of Goreme. But when I did a search on google map, it is showed as being in the centre of the town.
A:
No, not in the centre of town but a pleasant walk of about 10 minutes. Wonderful place to walk around and worth paying a little extra to see the Dark Church. A very beautiful place …
