- Grape Church ADD TO MY ROUTE
It is located in the west of Ortahisar, at the entrance of the Kızıl Çukur Valley. The fairy chimney, where the Üzümlü Church is located, was carved out like a monastery complex. There is a church in the lower part of the fairy chimney, and a place with a relief cross on its ceiling, which can be seen easily from the outside, since its walls have been partially destroyed. The church has a single apse, a single nave and a square plan. There is a burial niche at the back of the nave. This church is also known as the Church of St. Nichitas, as there is an inscription belonging to Stylite Nichitas in the dedication letter of the church.
