Good to Know Before You Visit

The Goreme Open Air Museum is generally open from 08:00 to 17:00, though hours shift with the season and the last entry is usually about an hour before closing. It's worth confirming the current times on an official tourism site before you head out. You'll get into the site with your skip-the-line ticket, so plan to spend a couple of hours walking the valley and stepping into the individual cave churches.

Since these are religious spaces, dress on the modest side and skip anything too revealing. There's no strict dress code, but the ground is uneven and you'll be climbing steps in and out of the caves, so comfortable walking shoes make a real difference. In the sunnier months, bring a hat and sunglasses.
