An interesting place in the mountains (1200m). Recently renovated, entrance is paid. There is also a paid lift by minibus from the parking lot. There is a cafe with good coffee and souvenirs. Beautiful ancient mosaic on the walls. Wonderful view of the mountains. You can get from Trabzon in 50 minutes and $100 round trip with a 2h wait.

A curious place, of course. But Admission is 30 euros per person, children are free. Parking (50 lire per hour). You buy a minibus ticket (40 lire people) and they take you all the way to the monastery. You can walk uphill, but it will be hard and long, so you will have to pay for a minibus.
I didn't like these extortions, I wouldn't go there a second time. The views around are beautiful, judging by the photos. When we were there, it was foggy. And apart from walking around the monastery for a bit, we couldn't do anything else.

I urge you to think hard before visiting this place. There are an excessive number of disadvantages in my opinion.
For four adults, the visit cost almost 10,000 rubles. We arrived on our own in our own car. The scheme is the same for everyone: arrival at the square with parking, then transfer to the "minibus" to the monastery and a walking march to the goal. The price consists of three payments: 900 liras entrance ticket for one, parking 50 liras per hour and a ticket for a minibus to the monastery 52 liras each (round trip). The toilet is 2 lira. August 2024
I do not recommend saving on a minibus. The ascent is very steep, and the distance is decent (about 2 km.). We saw the enthusiasts who went on foot, they looked unhappy.
After disembarking from the bus, you need to walk up the path with stairs. About 400-500 meters. The young and healthy will have eyes at half past five after climbing to the goal, those who are older by half past seven. At the stages of the ascent, there are benches for recreation.
The "monastery" itself is very modest in size. It takes no more than 10-15 minutes to inspect it with a visit to all the farthest corners.
Here the most important disappointment and perplexity will befall you. These are some kind of semi-ruins mixed with an open-air remodel and rivers of people who scurry back and forth taking selfies. There is practically nothing to look at there.
Judging by the pictures, the weather here is rarely good, so we got into rain and heavy fog. Take umbrellas and raincoats.
The use of copters is prohibited (warnings are hanging).
The total visit time is 2 hours.

It's a very interesting place. Historically and visually. The only thing is that there are a lot of people all the time. Unfortunately, the condition of the "old parts" is not particularly good, vandalism is present. Therefore, if you want to touch the old days, it's better to go while there is something to see.

It's a very beautiful place. We were out of season, few people, it's very cool. If you buy an official entrance ticket, then you can get an audio guide in Russian, you only need to install the application. Parking and delivery from the parking lot are charged separately.

For history lovers, it is a must-visit. The bonus is the beautiful nature, but take into account the steep hike.

Был в этом прекрасном месте, когда там находишься чувствуешь огромную энергетику. Природа фантастическая, сам храм в момент постройки требовал не человеческих усилий! Хвала Господи что такое место сохранили! Огромное спасибо турецким властям что одумались и сохранили провославную святыню. Это один из самых древних храмов провославия! Советую всем хоть раз в жизни побывать там, желаю всем добра и процветания!!!

The price is 20 euros per person, + parking + bus.
There's nothing to do there for that money. Another monastery, fortress, ruins, etc. on the rock

The road to the monastery is very picturesque, and the monastery itself is worth a look.

16.03.23 открыли монастырь. Доехали Своим ходом до шлагбаума, там 125 лир за человека (всех, кто тв машине, если нет гражданства или подданства Турции. Для них бесплатно). Ребенок 6 лет - бесплатно (документы не проверяли). Доехали до парковки. Там на долмуши - 20 лир с человека. Ехать минут 5. При входе гражданин Турции прошел за 60 лир - дали карту музея. Вроде она даёт какие то привелегии. А мы уже бесплатно. Много лестниц. Те, кто любит историю и древние здания - для них интересно. Мне понравилось. Но для разового посещения. Открыты почти все комнаты. Можно всё потрогать )))) но особо трогать нечего.

Безусловно стоит того, чтобы добраться сюда из Трабзона, или завернуть проезжая по побережью. Древний намоленный Православный Монастырь, который Ислам с уважением сохранил, и добротно отреставрировал. Есть чему поучиться у Турков. Вокруг национальный парк, посещение платное, организовано все хорошо и удобно. Пешком было бы сложно добираться, но от парковки частного транспорта наверх ходят мини-фургоны (маршрутки). Удивило обилие турецких туристов и паломников. Красивое место.

Одни турки.Не понравилось разделение билетов.При въезде покупаешь на проходной билеты на всех.За стоянку платишь отдельно.За автобус снова платишь.И если бы небыло переводчика под руками,то у входа в сам храм тоже бы заплатили.А нельзя было сделать билет в котором всё включено?Вы же турки и это ваша фишка.Сам монастырь посмотреть стоит.Но один раз.Лучше приехать сюда с утра.Может и народу будет меньше.А вниз спуститься пешком,это не так далеко.Зато пройдёшься по красивому парку где куча водопадов.Вроде здесь всегда присутствует морозь.Лучше взять чтото потеплее.

It's a great place. It needs to be protected very well, there is a lot to say to those who scrape pictures, but the system does not allow it.

Далеко ехать на машине, конечно. Но дальше вас ждет ПЛАТНАЯ парковка, ПЛАТНЫЙ музей (ну это логично) и либо 2 км подъема пешком, либо ПЛАТНЫЕ подвозки микроавтобусы.
Но все стоит того чтобы посетить это место. Очень красиво, интересно и познаветельно. Но для слабых людей говорю сразу: вам будет здесь трудно.
