Just returned from a ten day trip to Cappadocia, a wonderful place.
Travelling by car to the Lake District we stopped at Beyshir for the first night before going on to the Mevlana Museum at Konya. Then we stopped two nights at Uchisar in a cave with a restaurant and separate bar also in a cave setting. Visited the castle here and walked through Pidgeon Valley to Goreme. Then we moved to Goreme, which is better for choice of eating out places and stopped four more nights in a cave hotel. Visited Goreme open-air museum (10ytl each)which was very good. Booked a long trip in an air balloon with "Kapadokya Balloons" (480ytl each), highly recommended for their quality, safety and professionlism. Definately a major highlight, not to be missed. You can find cheaper, if you care to.
Other days spent visiting the largest underground city of Derinkuyu (10ytl each) and a guide is a good investment at around 30ytl.
Ortahisar, with it's large rock that hid the towns people was visited and the rock church at Cavusin(5ytl each). Zelve was interesting with it's rock chimneys and open air-museum(5ytl each).
Went to the pottery town of Avanos situated on Turkeys longest river, also visited the wine town of Urgup and Mustafapasa to see the remaining Greek buildings. Walked in the Ihlara Valley after moving to the quiet end at Selime. Here we stayed in a basic but comfortable Pension for a night right alongside one of the best kept secrets we came across...a cathedral built into the rocks(5ytl each) and right next door was a setting where they filmed some "Star Wars" shots. Then it was return to home via Antalya where we stopped over for a couple of nights and if you get the chance..do try the "Ray B" restaurant on the main road before Hadrian's Gate from the stadium end.
