Açıksaray, The Rock-Cut Complexes of “Open Palace”
/ By Josh
A collection of ornate palace-like complexes cut into the Cappadocian landscape, Açıksaray (Open Palace) is a little visited site perfect for adventure.
With its otherworldly landscapes, picturesque historic towns, underground cities, and brightly coloured hot air balloons, Cappadocia is one of Turkey’s most iconic tourist destinations. Cappadocia’s beauty is in its combination of stunning landscapes and fascinating history. Amid the twisting valleys and soaring fairy chimneys are the ruins of cities carved into the rock, lofty fortresses, and cave churches with fresco covered walls.
