A beautiful monastery with a picturesque view of the surrounding area. You can only walk around the monastery with an escort. If you did not come with a group, then the security will call an employee who will walk with you and talk about the monastery, but there is a nuance - the story will be in Turkish, so either smile and wave, or it's good if someone translates.
It is beautiful, atmospheric, the entrance ticket is purely symbolic of 100 lire. A fresh restoration, too popish, erased the patina of time. And this monastery has been operating since its foundation in 397 AD. You can only get there by car or taxi.
The monastery is in excellent condition. According to the monastery's staff guide, the main funding is provided by the Syrian diaspora. Entrance ticket 100 liras (November 2024)
