It is believed that the first signs of monastic activity in Cappadocia date back to the fourth century, when small anchorite communities, following the teachings of Basil the Great, bishop of Kayseri, began to occupy cells dug into the rock. Later, in order to resist the Arab invasions, communities began to regroup in troglodyte villages or underground cities such as Kaymakli or Derinkuyu which served as refuges.
Monasticism was already well established in Cappadocia in the iconoclastic period (725 AD-842 AD) as illustrated by the decoration of many sanctuaries that had only a minimum of symbols (usually crosses carved or painted with tempera). However, after 842, many rock churches in Cappadocia were excavated and richly decorated with brightly colored figurative paintings. Among the churches in the Goreme Valley are Tokalı Kilise and El Nazar Kilise (10th century), St Barbara Kilise and Saklı Kilise (11th century) and Elmalı Kilise and Karanlık Kilise (late 12th century-early 13th century).
Criterion (i): The rock sanctuaries of Cappadocia constitute, by their quality and density, a unique artistic achievement offering an irreplaceable testimony to the Byzantine art of the post-iconoclastic period.
Criterion (iii): The dwellings, villages, convents and rock churches preserve the "fossilized" image of a province of the Byzantine Empire between the fourth century and the arrival of the Seljuk Turks (1071). They are, therefore, the essential vestiges of a vanished civilization.
Criterion (v): Cappadocia is a prominent example of traditional human habitat that has become vulnerable under the combined effects of natural erosion and, more recently, tourism.
Criterion (vii): In an impressive landscape, dramatically testifying to the forces of erosion, the Goreme Valley and its surroundings offers world-renowned natural formations of hoodoos.

Turkish Hammam
The Turkish bath takes it’s origins from the Roman culture. Indeed, the Turkish Hammam is inspired by the Roman baths, already present in Anatolia when the first Turks came to settle in the eighth century.
The Turkish Hammam then evolved, mixing Roman and Byzantine traditions. Hygiene is an important aspect of Islam and has also influenced the evolution of the Turkish Hammam over the centuries with a particular use of water. It was then that the Turkish Hammam affirmed its own tradition. We invite you to discover our Turkish hamam to relax or enjoy a skin treatment after your bath. All treatments are done by our Spa team.
