Cappadocia
March 13, 2020 in Turkey
Hot Air Ballooning was not possible today, due to high wind condition. Maybe tomorrow. Today
we drove to Ozkonak Underground City, one of the area’s best-preserved underground cities,
and then Uchisar Castle, the highest point of Cappadocia. Next, we visited Goreme Open Air
Museum, famous for its 16th century frescoes, which depict the life of Jesus Christ and monks.
After lunch, visited a pottery work shop and see how pottery is made. At Pasabagi we saw the
three headed fairy chimneys. Afterwards we visited Devrent Valley, also called Imagination Valley
with their natural rock formations. Then we had some time for shopping at a Handicrafts Centre.
The last stop was the Three Beauties, three beautiful fairy chimneys with their hats, which is the
symbol of Cappadocia.
