Sinasos (Mustafapaşa) is one of the most authentic settlements in Cappadocia, once inhabited predominantly by Greeks. The village stands out with its beautifully preserved stone mansions, elegant architecture, and detailed stone craftsmanship. Having prospered through trade during the Ottoman era, the village still reflects its historical richness today.
The old churches, monasteries, and ornate stone buildings offer visitors a unique journey into the past. With its peaceful atmosphere and cultural depth, Sinasos is a hidden gem away from the crowds of Cappadocia.
Keşlik Monastery is a fascinating, early Christian rock-cut monastery complex located near the historic village of Mustafapaşa (Sinasos) in Cappadocia.
Key highlights include:

Sobesos Ancient City is the only known Roman-era ancient city in Cappadocia, located near the village of Şahinefendi in the Ürgüp district. It offers a unique contrast to the region's typical rock-cut cave heritage by showcasing classical stone architecture.

Taşkınpaşa Village is one of Cappadocia’s lesser-known yet historically significant locations, reflecting traces of both Seljuk and Ottoman periods. The village is particularly famous for the Taşkınpaşa Madrasa and Mosque, dating back to the 13th century, offering insight into the region’s educational and religious heritage.
With its traditional stone architecture and peaceful setting, Taşkınpaşa provides an authentic and quiet Cappadocia experience away from the crowds. Visitors can explore historical structures while also observing local village life.
