02 Visit Sinasos town and admire its Greek architecture
03 See Keslik Monastery's real baptism bath and rarely seen church icons
04 Discover the Sobesos Roman ruins, Cappadocia's only evident Roman relic
05 Enjoy a local lunch in either a Greek village or a local Turkish restaurant

Discover a real off-the-beaten-path side of Cappadocia through remote landscapes, timeless cave-dweller settlements, and churches preserved much as they were centuries ago. Along the way, see potato fields and, if you are lucky, one of the natural depots where potatoes are transported by tractor or truck. Visit the recently discovered Roman ruins of Sobesos, the only evident Roman relic in Cappadocia, with mosaics in fairly good condition, and explore Keslik Monastery, home to a real baptism bath and churches with rarely seen icons such as the earliest miracles of Jesus Christ and the Assumption of Mary. Lunch is a local experience in either a Greek village or a local Turkish restaurant.
