Akkoy

The Authentic Unchanged Mountain-village of Akkoy is located about 11 km from Ürgüp
(County Nevsehir / Cappadocia) On the central Anatolian Platform of rock-formations with unbelievable shapes and colors.
This region was already inhabited by the Hittites, Seljuk's and early Christians, in the first 3 centuries A.D. , when they used some of the caves to create complete underground cities, including Churches, monasteries and schools. These cities could be sealed by rolling big round stones before the entrance, like the one we know from the tomb of Jesus ( Isa).
Also in Akkoy you can find some old cave dwellings , churches and monasteries when you walk through the old part of the village.
