The village of Mazi, named ‘Mazata’ in ancient times, is 18km south of Ürgüp and 10km east of Kaymakli Underground settlement. On the steep slopes of the valley are rock tombs dating back to the Early Roman Era, whereas on the plateau there are tombs in great number dating back to the Byzantine Period. 
The Grape Church is located at the beginning of the Red Valley, to the west of the town of Ortahisar, about 1km from the road. The fairy chimney, in which the Grape Church is found, is hollowed out like a monastic complex where monks lived. The lower level of the fairy chimney is the church and the upper level is a chamber -which can be seen from outside due to the partial collapse of the walls- with a cross relief on the ceiling.
The nave with a flat ceiling is decorated with rich embellishments. The orange coloured surface is decorated with a cross composed of circles and rectangles and bunches of grape and geometrical motifs around it. The border is embellished with medallions with Maltese crosses. 
The village of Yesiloz, which houses the Tagar church, lies to the right of the Urgup - Kayseri road, about 8.5km (13km)from Urgup. The dome of this "T" planned church is now covered in glass, the original having collapsed. The upper floor gallery is reached by a stairway, and this is the only example of such church architecture in Cappadocia. The generally well preserved frescoes were painted by three artists, all with their own style. This church, devoted to St. Theodore, dates back to the 11th-13th centuries. 
Pancarlik valley lies to the south of Ortahisar, and to the right of the road leading from Urgup to Mustafapasa. The church has one nave, one apse and a flat ceiling. The frescoes in this church are well preserved, and most of them are painted on a green background. At first glance it appears that two different artists were responsible for the paintings, but on closer inspection it is apparent that the same artist painted all the frescoes. In the church, the scenes from the Bible follow one another in sequence and portraits of saints in insets border these scenes on both sides. The church dates back to the first half of the 11th century.
