    This cave church is located in the Ihlara Valley a bit off and about 30 meters up the trail.

    The church is still well preserved because the old plaster on the walls can still be seen. It's a special feeling to stand in these caves and imagine that people once lived here.

    I recommend hiking shoes for the whole of Ihlara.

    The Kirkdamalti Kilise – "the church under forty roofs" or also called "St George's Church" – dates back to the 13th century. The date was confirmed by an inscription in the church. The depictions on the interior walls of the church show Saint George on a white horse.
