A hidden church of the past that can be found halfway through the hike. Great place to explore the rooms and you can even climb up the steep steps to head up 2nd floor. Very well preserved structure.

A church in the Ihlara Valley, reached by climbing a few stairs. It's near the second entrance. Although the paintings on the walls aren't fully preserved, touring this architecture was a wonderful experience. It's truly awe-inspiring.
