10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Goreme That You Shouldn't Miss

July 25, 2021 Frederic Celentano

A town literally carved into the volcanic rock, Goreme is the gateway to the Goreme National Park, a vast UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses spectacular 10th- and 11th-century cave churches. The park itself is known for its chimney rock formations and is very popular with backpackers. It’s also a great area to sample Turkish cuisine and wine.

Goreme National Park

Reviewed By localfoodiebih - Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

We visited Goreme in Oktober 2019. It was part of our honeymoon trip and we are still sad because we didnt spent at least couple days more at this magical place. We have heard about is before we came, we saw photos and videos, but believe me you cannot describe how beautiful this place is. It is perfect in September or October to visit since during the summer it is too hot. You can stay at cave hotels, visit open air museum, take one of the tours to visit couple more villages and underground cities and learn more about their tradition, culture and history of course. Prepare yourself to wake up early in the morning and visit Point of View place (ask locals) about directions and enjoy the view over the valley lighten by morning sun and hot air ballons.

I was planning to Sultan Carpets after reading the reviews they had over here, and I was NOT disappointed. I was greeted by Ali and Mustafa the first day I got there, they first choice I have to make on their shop is between a Turkish tea, or an Apple tea. They talked me through the ranges of carpets types, qualities, and prices. He wasn't hesitated to unroll any of his carpets to give me choices of which one carpets suits me the best, the price are very very reasonable, InsyaAllah the carpets I got will suits the house really fine. Ali's English is exceptional, I know so many Turkish around Göreme speaks English but there is something different with him, turns out he spent time in America for 5 years which explains a lot, him and Mustafa were very honest about their business, they are very comfortable to talk to, a genuine carpet shop runs by genuine carpet lover persons. Me as a moslem brother is proud to see our brother have such dedication and honesty, a very good example of Turkish hospitality! I really wanna go back to Göreme, and with God's will if I do, I'll definitely visit Sultan Carpet again!

My parents and I first met Ruth in the early 2000s. Last spring during the midst of the pandemic, I worked via email with Ruth to select some kilim cushion covers for the house my husband and I had just moved into. The attached picture are a mix of some I purchased in 2015 during a visit to Turkey and some that were shipped to us during the pandemic. Online ordering was easy and secure, and shipping was fast. But nothing compares to actually visiting her store.
