• Göreme Open Air Museum
  

  
  The museum has a collection of caves and fairy chimneys. It contains the finest of the rock-cut churches, with beautiful frescoes (wall paintings) whose colors still retain all their original freshness.
  
  

• Güvercinlik (Pigeon) Valley
  

  
  You can hike the Pigeon Valley between Göreme and Uçhisar. The path through the valley offers spectacular views of the natural cliffs and the man-made caves and passes through a few tunnels carved into the rock.
  
  

• Love Valley
  

  
  Baglidere Valley is better known as Love Valley and it is a gentle walk for those who are not looking for strenuous activity. Within the valley are the famous fairy chimneys that the Cappadocia region is famous for.
  
  

• Karanlık Church
  

  
  The stunning fresco-filled Dark Church (Karanlık Kilise) is the most famous of the Open-Air Museum's churches. It took its name from the fact that it originally had very few windows. Luckily this lack of light preserved the vivid colour of the frescoes, which show, among other things, Christ as Pantocrator, Christ on the cross and the Betrayal by Judas.
  
  

• Hot Air Balloon Ride
  

  
  One of the most popular activities in Göreme typically lifting off at sunrise, these rides last about an hour in the air and literally go wherever the wind may blow in the Cappadocia Valley. The balloon baskets hold around 20 people with the pilot riding air currents much like a boat, floating down the valleys, often below the ridge line and quite close to the chimney rocks. It's a fantastic ride and if you've ever had the urge to splurge on a balloon ride, this would be the place to do it.
