Al Nazar Church

worth a short visit. Nothing spectacular, but the location and its paintings are quite extraordinary. Entrance fee.

A beautiful church to visit. The door is locked, so you have to ask the older gentleman (up in the hill on the right side when facing the entrance door) to let you in. The entrance fee is 120TL per person, only cash is accepted. The man was very nice, and knew a few words in English to tell you about the frescos on the ceiling and walls.

I loved this little church off the road but be ready for a short hike. It will take you 20 minutes at a leisurely stroll to arrive. However, the frescoes are worth the walk. Also, there is a 5-10TL charge per person to go inside the church.

The intact frescoes are amazing. It's a place tucked away from the tourists in the honey valley- opposite Goreme open air museum. It's not much to look at from outside but don't drop it from your list because of that. The walk around the valley may surprise you with little apple and grape orchards in the folds of the dusty and bare mountains. The best part of the church is the remains of the vivid colours of the frescoes.

Detail in the painting is amazing. Away from the crowds and our friend Sami was wonderful. He even gave us the key to the hidden church.

The church is closed, but if you will look on right side from the church, it’s gonna be small room with person who is let you enter inside. His name is Sami and he knows the history, he can explain you what every picture does it mean. His English is very good :) entrance fee is 5 TL, you can give him tips also. Actually, church inside is very small, but pictures are so real, don’t liable to suspicion that colors are fake)

Beautiful church just a few minutes away from the Goreme Open Air Museum.. Here you can explore a church with frescos that is not crowdy since the groups buses will not come here.. The access to the church is with no pavimented road, however can be easily reached by a 30 min walk.. Totally worth the visit

It was really good to see this place. Not much remains of the frescos, but I like the architecture and its shape. It was very small inside, takes 3 mins to visit. You can use qr code (inside church on the wall) to get information about church. We went on a Saturday and it was open even though Google said it was closed. Museum card is valid. If you don’t have museum card, you should pay 20 Turkish Liras to visit. Have a good trip travelers!
