Selima Cathedral (the rock-carved Byzantine church in Cappadocia) offers dramatic tunnel-like facades, carved columns, and cave windows set in soft volcanic landscapes. Visit at sunrise for warm, low-angle light and fewer visitors; midday can be flat inside the dark-cut rooms. Accessible by car with roadside pull-offs; wear closed shoes—surfaces are uneven. No special entry permits, but dress modestly out of respect.
