Summary:
Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia Caves (Turkey) - Cappadocia has an array of great sculptural works created both by Mother nature and by man, including forests of strange rock formations, cave dwellings and churches hewn out of the bedrock.
Kiev: Saint Sophia Cathedral and Related Monastic Buildings, Kiev-Pechersk Lavra (Ukraine) - A succession of magnificent churches was built in Kiev following the conversion to the Greek Orthodox Faith of Vladimir, the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Kiev. The Ukrainian capital is one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe. As a result of Grand Duke Vladimir's conversion to the Greek Orthodox Faith in the 10th Century, the city is home to such wonderful buildings as the Saint-Sofia Cathedral, which is adorned with beautiful mosaics and frescos; and the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra Monastery with its towering bell towers.
