Nice big open place with a spectacular view onto the valley and different ruins of different historical periods. The temple relief is gigantic and perfectly executed. The rock "Castle" is very organic and if you are a bit of a climber, very interesting to explore all the way up.

This monument, which was built by King Midas over two thousand five hundred years ago, amazed me with its magnificent structure.

One of the most remarkable, yet remote, places I visited. If you're a history-lover like me, this is a delight. However, let me warn you: Rent a car. I was brave enough to go without one, thinking I might rely on local buses and hitchhiking. The result: cramps and sun burns. Yes, I walked over 25 kms to reach Yazılıkaya.
If you are considering hitchhiking, here's some tips. I took the local bus from Eskişehir to Seyitgazi at 11 p.m.. These buses go every hour or so and the last one returns at 5 p.m. Then I hitchhiked to the starting of the road to Yazılıkaya. As of September, 2022, the road is still 80% done. It used to be a dirt road before. However, there is no public transport here. In fact, I didn't see a single tourist. Just a few cars of the locals. There are around 4 villages on the way to Yazılıkaya. I was able to get a hitchhike between two of these villages but the rest I had to walk. The road was awesome and the scenery was breathtaking but I was not well equipped. However, I did get to visit all the historic monuments between Doğanlı kale and Yazılıkaya.
I reached Yazılıkaya at 5 p.m. and explored the area for over an hour. Make sure to walk around the back and reach the wooden staircase. The walk back to kümbet was one of the scariest of my life since it got dark and I had no shelter. Thankfully, a truck driver gave me a ride to Eskişehir. Definitely worth it in hindsight!

The main attraction of the Phrygian Valley. The only negative is the presence of stray dogs which can be intimidating if you are alone and it's getting dark. Pro-tip: visit the site in the morning or before noon - the facade is oriented eastwards and the carvings are better visible when the sun rays shine on it.

Interesting monument for King Midas from 3000 years back. A massive bit of work with other locations in walking distance.

Thought it would be a 20 minute look around. Fabulous place nearly 3 hours later

We had no expectations and we're pleasantly surprised. For me, this experience merges Cappadocia and the Roman ruins. It was so quiet and peaceful.

Very nice place to see, they should be much cared. Some of them natural some of them are man made though.

This is a place to walk. It’s a little mountain. there is a well-established route and not very long to follow. Nature plain. Very beautiful. There are springs with cold water. You need a hat because it’s very sunny.

What an amazing gem. Unfortunatelly its not very accesable so no buses or tours only accesible by car in middle of a village. Definately worth the drive tho

Spare enough time to explore around.
Note that there is a parking for visitors just at the beginning of the narrow street.

The inscription at the top of the main rock wall is very interesting

Incredible place, full of silent and gorgeous power!

This is a good place that reminds you that one day you are going to die even you are Midas. :)
