Took my parents and little brother. We all loved it! My mom was super into the cave churches (she took like 100 pics, no joke). My brother kept climbing onto random rocks, which is probably not allowed but no one stopped him. The staff at the entrance were friendly and pointed us to a map. Paths are sometimes steep but manageable. Not a lot of shade, so sunscreen is your friend. We spent about 2 hours just wandering. Zelve is sooo peaceful compared to Goreme.

The best part was just how quiet it felt – almost like the place was sleeping. I went solo and just wandered for hours. The caves are crazy – some you can climb into, others blocked off. The valley views stretch for miles. I did get lost once (lol) but found my way back. Take snacks, and don’t expect any fancy shops nearby.

I’m still thinking about those frescoes! The colors are so bright. No pictures allowed but honestly, just being there is enough. Wear comfy shoes.

If you’re in Cappadocia, don’t skip this. Bring water, wear good shoes, and be ready to walk a lot. The chapels are super old but still so COLORFUL. Some of the paths are uneven.
