Mustafapasa Attractions

Until 1923 the village of Mustafapasa was inhabited only by Greeks and so most of the frescoes are Greek. All the old houses have balconies and window ledges carved from local tuff. Most of the homes contain frescoes which date from before this period. They depict modern themes and some are well worth inspecting. Beyond the village in Beydere is the Basileios Church, which is noted for its relief carvings. According to an inscription, the decorations date from between 726 and 780, but the paintings are 19th century The three apse crosses represent Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
