    Die Höhlenkirchen sind gut beschildert, leicht zu finden und sehenswert. Ergänzung zur An-und Abfahrt: In Ihlara gibt es in der Ortsmitte am Fluss einen großen, kostenlosen Parkplatz. Dort halten auch Busse. Die Tour endet an der Landstraße zwischen Selime und Yaprakhisar. Von dort fahren 5 x täglich Busse zurück zur Ortsmitte von Ihlara. Die Wartezeit kann man in der Kneipe an der Bushaltestelle verkürzen. Der Wirt ruft auch gerne ein Taxi.
