This place is so bizzare!
Cappadocia is the name of this peculiar region full of fairy chimneys and other gelogical wonders. The four main towns here are Ürgüp, Avanos, Göreme and Uçhisar. I am sure you are eager to check out the view so I will shut up an let the pictures do the talking.
Göreme
A farmer's lunch room
Love Valley
Cutest little fairy chimney house. The room below would be perfect for camping or as a summer cabin.

One of the many vineyards among these strange rock formations.
Üç Hacli Church along the Güllüdere1 trail on Rose Valley
We missed a turn off and got a bit lost among all these canyons
The famous Cappadocia balloons early in the morning.
Haçli Church on Güllüdere1 trail
This was my favorite church. It was massive and all carved out of the rock. Kolonlu Church on Güllüdere2 trail in Rose Valley

A handy buggy with apricot trees and vineyard in the background.
A tight tunnel
Hiking with bikes is a real adventure.
Current Use
Eventhough most carved out fairy chimneys are sitting empty, some are still inhabited, used as sheds, animal shelters or hay barns.
