I’m just going to say it. Cappadocia, I love you. You are my favourite place in the world. You complete me. Im sad to be saying goodbye after only 4 days of exploring your nooks and crannies, but if I don’t leave you now I never will.
I had the whole day to wait for my night bus, so I hired a scooter again. Today I drove off into the desert without much of a plan which was the best decision I have made so far. I followed a main road to a town, found a small road, which turned into a dirt road, which turned into a dirt track and when my scooter couldn’t go any further I kept going on foot.
What I found was valleys, gorges, literally hundreds of caves, cave churches, houses, tunnels, semi collapsed churches and even an entry to one of the underground cities, and not a single soul in sight. There is no way to explain how amazing this place is, you have to come here to experience it. My advice is to come here, hire a Motorbike, Scooter or Quadbike and head in any direction, get off anywhere and take a walk and explore every cave you can reach.
You could live here for a year and go hiking every day and still not find even 10 percent all of the caves and treasures the area has to offer. It truly is spectacular. If there was only one thing I could do for the rest of my life it would be to explore, map and photograph every cave and tunnel in Cappadocia.
I am on a wifi filled overnight bus heading to Antalya so may have slightly cheated again with todays photo. These are some of the views from inside the caves I explored today.
