Travelling to Turkey
1. Cappadocia
After 40hours traveling by bus,I finally reached #Cappadocia in central #Turkey. Exhausting but extraordinary. Visiting Paşabağ Valley & fairy chimneys, Valley of Zelve, Oçhisar Castle & Valley of pigeons were dreamy places I visited there. 1/3
I spent the nights in #Gormeh, located among the "fairy chimney" rock formations with full of cave housings. Just east of the town is Göreme Open Air Museum from the 10th to 12th centuries. It's among the earliest-settled & last-abandoned monastic valleys in #Cappadocia.2/3
Here are more photos from Cappadocia.I do love the atmosphere of it & will return there again.
After 2days I said goodbye to dreamy Cappadocia & traveled to Aksaray province, Sultanhani town, Konya; the city of #Rumi & other cities. Will write about them in next parts. 3/3
