Kaymakli

 
Kaymakli is situated about 20km/13mi south of Nevsehir and, like Derinkuyu, stands above an interesting underground city. Discovered in 1964, four levels are open to the public. Here as in most of the other cave dwellings, rooms and passages are kept separate and are equipped with a ventilation system, living quarters, store-rooms and water cisterns. Communication between the living quarters was via a system of small holes in the walls. Above the underground city, some simple graves were recently uncovered on a hill.
