Agzikarahan Caravanserai have been built and used since the 10th century. These buildings provided accommodation and other amenities for the merchants and stabling for their animals. Inside each caravanserai there was also a small mosque for their religious services.
During the times of Seljuk Sultans Kilicarslan II and Alaaddin Keykubat I, the construction of these buildings increased. Merchants of all nationalities were put in the caravanserais with food and beverage all free of charge up to three nights. They could get their shoes repaired. New shoes were given to the poor, and treatment was available for the sick. If the merchants were robbed, the loss of the trades would be compensated by the states. It was the first insurance system in the world.
Lovely and unique. The staff was very accomadating, food was excellent. One of the nices places I've stayed anywhere in the world.
Derinkuyu underground city is absolutely one of the things you must see to get the `total` impression of fabulous Capadoccia! You are going 60m underground through narrow tunnels, see the capability of our human ancestors to manage to survive in the most dangerous and severe situations and what impressed me so much.
I haven't been to any of the other underground cities, but think Derinkuyu is definitely worth a visit.
El tour privado nos llevo en la noche a la famosa noche turca en capadocia donde pudimos ver diferentes bailes y culturas de casi toda la anatolia central me gusto muchisimo
Don’t miss this open air museum becasue it is the perfect first impact with Cappadocia and its fairies. Nevertheless, close to the museum there are a lot of good-in-shape paths that take to the valleys like the Valley of the Roses.
We drove to Derinkuyu from Goreme, almost 30km but it was worth the trip. The city is amazing and it's very deep. Make sure you get thick clothes as it gets colder as you go down. You don't need a guide because the coridors are well signaled.
It is a monastery complex carved into the rock. Similar in some ways to Meteora with its location into the rock, though from what I could see was not at all built up. Apparently built in the 13th century, they carved into the rock and used it like that. The monastery is in a region called Guzelyurt, which is just about the coolest name I saw in our two weeks in Turkey.
This is incredible from historical point of view. How it was designed and built thousands years ago, with water supplies lying underneath and vents to provide air, with all the storage and living spaces. We never felt claustrophobic or that there was not enough air. We visited two underground cities – Kaymakli and Derinkuyu.
Capadocia y el tour privado es lo mas lindo de turquia la atencion que nos entregaron en la agencia fue fenomenal
