Gaziemir Underground City

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:51:19

Some 18km east of Güzelyurt, just off the road to Derinkuyu, is Gaziemir underground city, only opened in 2007. Churches, a winery with wine barrels, food depots, hamams and tandoor fireplaces can be seen. Camel bones and loopholes in the rock for tethering animals suggest that it also served as a subterranean caravanserai.
