Cappadocia on a Monday: what is actually open

TRTurkey Routes team Team, Türkiye
Shared October 2026 · 1 day ·10 places

Monday is the day most museums in Türkiye close, so the usual question is what is left. In Cappadocia our data shows 3 places closed on Mondays — Kültepe (Kanesh), Soğanlı Valley, Tatlarin Underground City — and 15 sights with a checked closing day that are open. This plan takes 10 of them in driving order from Göreme: El Nazar Church, Göreme Open-Air Museum, Çavuşin old village, Zelve Open-Air Museum, Avanos, Özkonak Underground City, Church of St Jean (Karşı Kilise), Gülşehir, Hacıbektaş Museum (Haji Bektash Veli Complex), Ürgüp and Temenni Hill, Mustafapaşa (Sinasos). For 5 further places we could not confirm a closing day from the operator, so they are left out rather than guessed. Tickets and opening hours are on each place page; the planner flags a closing day if you move the plan to another weekday.
