The Grammy Open Air Museum is the quintessence of Cappadocia, which has been condensed in the natural and human history of the Cappadocia region and has gathered more than 30 cave churches and has been awarded the World Cultural Heritage. The churches were originally built by Christians who migrated to the Cappadocia region to escape political persecution. They chose to hollow the mountain to build a church for the sake of the eyes and ears, and there were already mottled colored murals inside. Although these murals are not perfect, some look a bit tender, but each chapel has a beautiful legend that was left in the past and has a high artistic appreciation. Cappadocia, which is known as the Rocky Fort in Turkey, is full of all kinds of rock formations, and this area is not only the natural landscape of the moon landscape, but it is really amazing here. There are many churches that are large and small. When you see them, I am afraid to break the "gothic spires, colorful mosaic glass windows" in your mind. On the contrary, everything is different from what you imagined. Just as the Cave Hotel is famous here, the "Cave Church" is equally impressive. The Grammy Open Air Museum is home to numerous cave churches. Although the entrance is unobtrusive and ugly, the churches in the church still retain those old and beautifully decorated murals. For the purpose of protecting the grottoes inside the grotto, the church can't take pictures, so we can't show the inside of the church, we can only experience it personally.

Göreme Open Air Museum
One of the world's most beautiful towns, Turkey's Göreme town. Göreme is located in eastern Turkey, the westernmost point of the Asian continent, with unique landforms in the Cappadocia region, specifically in the province of Nevşehir in central Anatolia. Around the 14th century BC, the Hittite people lived here by carving caves, and the Hittite kingdom was once the most powerful country in western Asia. Göreme is a small town running north and south. It takes only half an hour to walk back and forth in the bustling area at the center of the town. Various small shops are scattered along the road, selling everything from cushion covers, felt hats, old doorbells, fridge magnets, postcards, to spinning begging bowls of monks. Whatever souvenir you want, you can find it here. The volcanic ash in Greyme has been weathered and eroded by rainwater for millions of years, forming countless strange rock formations that resemble both needle mushrooms and skinny chimneys, known as "fairy chimneys". In these seemingly barren cliffs, there are countless rock-cut churches, cave dwellings, and underground city ruins hidden. /Göreme's open-air museum is located in a valley, condensed with the characteristics and scenery of Cappadocia. It was once a gathering place for Christians after the 9th century. Many Christians took refuge in these caves, leaving murals on the walls and decorating the caves into churches. The walls of the caves still retain the images of characters from the Bible to this day, faintly discernible. /Attention! Introduce the super popular internet-famous carpet store, also the largest one in the town. It's very close to "Meihua Chinese Restaurant". From afar, you can see all kinds of beautiful carpets hanging at their door. It's even more amazing inside the store.
