The Hidrellez (Hagios Georgios) monastery is probably one of the oldest monsteries in Cappadocia (6th century?) with frescoes from 1292/93.The Greek name of the village was Potamia (today Başköy), homeland of St.Georg, to whom the church was dedicated. On the opposite side of the valley is the village Başköy with a Greek church next to the minaret.
