Directly opposite the Yazilıkaya Monument is a massive rock mass with numerous eyes, known as the Kırkgöz Rockies. These rocks were used as multi-story rock settlements, churches, and tombs during the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. Inside the rocks are carved staircases used for passage between spaces.
