I visited amazing Cappadocia with my lovely wife. We rented a car and moved to Antalya first to catch the passing summer. We enjoyed the still warm Mediterranean Sea and set off for Cappadocia the next day. We stayed at a small, cosy hotel “Alaturca House” in Goreme.

Next day we booked a balloon flight (another post). The rest of the day we devoted the famous views of Cappadocia near Goreme and Uchhisar towns.

Goreme is a small town surrounded rocks with the caves. Millennia-old houses inside the rocks alternate with modern buildings. There is the Goreme Open-Air Museum near the town with churches carved into the rocks from the early Christian era – “Dark church”, “Snake’s church”, “Buckle church”. After museum we moved to the Uchhisar town to visit a Castle. It’s a kind of a hiking activity to reach a castle on the top of a mountain, but the way lays through the picturesque village. After the Castle we visited Pigeon valley with dwellings and bird cages carved into the rocks. At the end of this day, we visited Love valley. You will recognise this valley at first glance. 😜

It was too many impressions for one day, but there are a lot of wonderful places to visit and so little time as usual😢 And our journey through equally amazing places continued the next day.

IMHO Cappadocia should be in every traveller’s wish list.
