  2. Church 4, also known as "Grape Church" for the vine decoration inside, dates to the 6th century and is one of the oldest churches in #Cappadocia. Some examples of its 9th century decoration are preserved. Look for St Helena in the apse in the second pic and the fresco of a deacon.

  3. Just about 1 km from Paşabağ are the amazing cave churches of Zelve. Most of these date to the 9th and 10th centuries, but some are as early as the sixth. The area was inhabited until the 1950s.

  7. On the road between Çavuşin and Zelve🇹🇷, we stop at Paşabağ, also called "Monks Valley". Here the landscape displays the amazing multi-headed mushroom rock formations, some 15-20m high into which monks carved cells in the #Byzantine period to live a solitary life.

  8. We've made a big loop and now it's time to head east, stopping at the village of Çavuşin and the church of St John the Baptist, a rock cut church dating to the early 6th century (hear that, my #LateAntiquity & #Byzantine peeps??). It may be the oldest church in #Cappadocia 🇹🇷
