About Ihlara
Ihlara Valley (Ihlara Vadisi) is the most spectacular river canyon in central Anatolia and one of the most extraordinary concentrations of Byzantine rock architecture in the world — a canyon of 16km length cut by the Melendiz River through the volcanic tuff plateau of the Aksaray region, 151km southwest of Kayseri Airport, whose sheer volcanic walls (reaching 150 metres above the river in places, the most dramatic canyon scenery in Cappadocia, the cliff faces honeycombed with over 100 rock-cut Byzantine cave churches) and the valley floor (a lush riverside corridor of poplar and willow trees, wild flowers and the rushing Melendiz stream, the most verdant and most botanically rich valley floor in the otherwise arid Cappadocian volcanic landscape) give it a combination of geological drama, archaeological richness and natural beauty quite unmatched in central Anatolia.
The Ihlara Valley's Byzantine church programme (over 100 cave churches carved between the 6th and 13th centuries, the largest concentration of rock-cut Byzantine churches in the world in a single canyon, including the Agacalti Kilise — Daniel Pantonassa — with extraordinary painted barrel vault frescoes of the Nativity and the Last Judgment, the Purenli Seki Kilise with the finest intact frescoes in the valley, and the Kokar Kilise with remarkable Syrian-influenced iconographic programme) gives the canyon an archaeological significance in Byzantine studies quite disproportionate to the modest fame it enjoys outside Turkey. The Selime Monastery at the canyon's north end (the largest rock-cut religious complex in Cappadocia, its cathedral cave church the most imposing single rock-cut ecclesiastical space in the region) and the village of Ihlara at the canyon's south (with traditional Anatolian village architecture and the most atmospheric entrance to the valley walk) complete one of the finest all-day heritage and natural excursions available from Kayseri.
