About About the place

El Nazar Kilise is a historic cave church located a short walk from the center of Goreme, Turkey, along the Zemi Valley trail. While unassuming from the exterior, the church contains well-preserved frescoes, offering a glimpse into Byzantine religious art. It is smaller and less grand than the churches within the Goreme Open Air Museum, but its secluded location often provides a more intimate and uncrowded experience. The church is conical in shape and stands alone in the valley, resembling a gnome cottage. Access involves a walk from the main road, and a small entrance fee is typically required.

There was nothing special about this speciality hotel and it was such a disappointment. The place was literally in ruins and it pinches me to see all my money goes to waste. The rooms were really dirty and unkept and the service was pathetic. I won’t recommend this to anyone and it was the worst experience.

I always wanted to visit this city as it was on my bucket list and there is so much to see here that you really really fell in love with the culture, the buildings, the people and the food of this place. We took the tour package where the guide took us to all the main spots and apart from it, we were able to enjoy so much at the markets of the city and shopped so much stuff.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.
