Zelve

Shopping Zelve style.   Lots of interesting objects line the street opposite the entrance to the outdoor museum.

If the above doesn't go with your decor or seems too bulky to carry around Turkey perhaps a little dried fruit, apple tea or a popular 'aphrodisiaque' from a roadside market.

Cave dwellings in the Zelve Open Air Museum.  This time  we enjoyed exploring on our own. Putting the  knowledge gained from our previous guides to good use, identifying the various parts of the cave churches, monasteries and dwellings.  Where the animals were tethered, monks ate, made wine, families, cooked, slept and were buried.

We were happily surprised to be able to wander wherever we choose.  There were a few signs advising that certain areas were unsafe because of erosion but there was nothing other than your own common sense to deny you entry,
