Cappadocia in Turkey

Cappadocia provide unforgettable sets of experiences, memories and photographs. Any time of the year is beautiful here whether you’re hiking the Ilhara valley in the spring sun or exploring a landscape that defies description when the snows of winter come. The towns of Avanos and Nevsehir and the three villages of Goreme, Urgup and Uchisar are all good bases for exploring this region and although a lot of people have come and gone in a weekend this area really repays the investment of a few extra days.

Accommodation and food are cheap (as is the locally produced wine) and many people, especially backpackers, enjoy the laid back and friendly atmosphere that prevails. You can walk, cycle, taxi or even bus it around this area and a plethora of agencies will offer you guided tours. Highlights might include the annual wine festival or a balloon trip across the famous fairy chimneys and valleys
