Cappadocia- Land of Cave Churches

Location: Anatolia (aka central Turkey)
Known for: Fairy Chimneys, cave churches, and underground cities
Reminds me of: Star Wars, meerkat monks peeking out from their rocky caves (didn't directly observe this, but my imagination is as good as reality)


First picture in Cappadocia.


Cave houses litter the landscape


The inside of a church! Wind has worn away the shell of this church, leaving the interior exposed.




We climbed to the top of this castle (Uchisar Castle). You can see the Turkish flag flying on top!


Desert sunsets are always the most beautiful




End of Day 1
