Approximately 3km from Goreme, Cavusin, a village of stone, is known to have the oldest troglodyte church in Cappadocia.
My suggestion:
After visiting Goreme, take the road to Avanos and on the way stop at Cavusin. The visit is quick but worth the detour.
Summary:
Cappadocia is, in my opinion a region which must be discovered on foot, but also by car.
The villages are very close to each other and always offer different views.
According to the owner of the inn at
Goreme, where I was staying, the Christians, persecuted by the Romans in the 1st century A.D., dug caves into the Cavusin rocks and took refuge there, later to install a centre of study for Christianity in the region.
This is the reason we are able to visit the troglodyte church of St John the Baptist, beautifully preserved for its age!
The detour past Cavusin to me is obligatory if you have transport but remains a detour. Goreme and Avanos are sites that you can spend more time visiting, in contrast to Cavusin, apart from its churches, it does not have much to offer tourists.
