Overpriced and in my opinion, definitely overrated. It’s also overrun with hordes of tour groups who seem to believe they have right of way and priority over everyone else!
I felt somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of people, or should I say, more so by the amount of ignorant self entitled people with zero regard for other visitors.
Not an enjoyable experience, but perhaps if I had gone when it was quieter I would have enjoyed it more. Having said that, it’s not somewhere I would visit again.
It’s also forbidden to take photographs inside the churches, and there are staff/guards watching and barking at people with phones/cameras in their hands.

Costi assurdi per quello che offre.
Posto unico nel suo genere ma non unico in cappadocia dove ce ne sono di più grandi e piacevoli.
La cosa particolare di questo sito che altri non hanno sono gli affreschi visibili (perché ristrutturati) ma è inaccettabile far pagare 16€ l’ingresso per far vedere qualche casetta scavata e altri 4€ per entrare nella chiesetta con gli affreschi (4 metri x 4 di grandezza).
Non consiglio di entrarci, molto meglio zelve che costa meno della metà ed è meno turistico, più grande e affascinante.
P.s. non si possono fare foto all’interno pena forti rimproveri

Yeah... It's interesting. The entrance fee is expensive in my opinion (500 lira), and you have to pay extra to see the best conserved church inside, a rip off in other words. Beyond the affreschi and a secchi of the churches here, there are a lot of houses in the surroundings that are also worth visiting. Also, cleanliness is not very valuable in this place, as well as many others.
L'ingresso costa circa 17€ e ti permette di visitare una serie di chiese rupestri (circa 6) e alcune piccole abitazioni. Per capire cosa si va a vedere, consigliamo una guida o un audio guida.
É possibile scattare foto all'estero del complesso, ma è vietato all'interno delle chiese. Nei mesi più affollati, in alcune chiese, potrebbero formarsi lunghe code (tuttavia sono abbastanza scorrevoli). La durata complessiva della visita è di circa 45minuti (variabile).
Diamo 3 stelle perché nonostante sia un luogo caratteristico, il prezzo è troppo elevato per quello che offre.

Definitely the place to visit when in Cappadocia!
We visited at the end of the day (just before 6pm) and were the last people to be admitted. As such we did not have much time to spend, however, we were not met with congestion and loads of tourists around and we got great sunset views! We decided to get a tour guide for 25 euros (discounted price as we were last and he would not be spending much time with us) who was courteous and eager. Nevertheless, I have to admit his knowledge was not extending beyond the information we could find on the signs outside each monastery, church and monument. So it was a little waste of money, but a great company nonetheless!
Tips:
(1) go either first thing in the morning or last thing in the afternoon - but allow yourself time for visiting all places of interest.
(2) do your research with hiring a tour guide and ensure you find someone knowledgeable with good reviews online. The price can always be negotiated on the spot depending on the type of tourist you are - wanting pics and a story for your friends and family or wanting the full blown historic facts tour with a bit of the rest too!
(3) DO NOT TAKE PICTURES IN CHURCHES WHERE NOT ALLOWED- I could not stress enough how hostile the staff/security are when they see you holding a phone, camera upon entry. We had a terrible experience with a particular security staff who did not speak a word of English and was shouting and threatening us for making the mistake of walking in with the camera on after taking pics outside. They are rude, (clearly) dislike tourists (and their job as they appeared bored to say the least) and you won't be able to win an argument with them.
(4) wear comfortable shoes as some of the points of climbing are slippery. Comfortable clothing and a hat are also recommended. Take your bottle of water too as there is a cafeteria only at the entrance/exit.

Audio guide asked for passport as security which is weird - I’d never do that, they need to sort that our. Apart from that Great place - it’s amazing to see this landscape - but the interpretation is very limited restricting the quality of experience. You can take the local guides but your experience depends on the quality of guides themselves. You need good 2hrs to complete this place. We enjoyed looking at the landscape but you need non slippery shoes and walk around carefully.
The landscape and views are great.

Prendetevi una guida e fatevi accompagnare: solo così la visita avrà un senso. Di per sé ci sono luoghi più belli da visitare in Cappadocia X ammirare chiese rupestri, monasteri e spaccati delle antiche civiltà che hanno popolato questi luoghi. Inoltre i maldestri tentativi di recupero e restauro delle pareti esterne fanno apparire alcune parti dei luoghi come fatiscenti
