Holiday in Cappadokia


Since it was Ramazan i had a week off from work so me and imran decided to travel.We decided to travel to Ankara and Cappadokia .We reached Ankara early in the morning and it was freezing, easily below zero.The main reason for visiting ankara was for my European visa but unfortunately all the embassies were closed and some had closed minutes before arrived.Ankara is the modern capital city of Turkey.Its a very nice city but not much to do has a tourist so we took a overnight bus to cappadokia/Goreme and reached around 11 pm.The place we stayed was a cave carved out of the fairy chimney(large stone structures).

We stayed in cappadokia for 3 days and we had a great time.we met a lot of people and surprisingly met a few Aiesec trainees who were staying in a hotel next to ours.All of us partied at night and on the second day took the daily bus tour.The tour was great .They took us to the most popular places in cappadokia.The places we went to were impressive especially the underground city at kaymakli and the Valley really beautiful .I must say cappadokia is really a special place in Turkey.The landscape is amazing.Even though it was very tiring i enjoyed every moment of it.Cappadokia is a land, which seems to be a fantasy. Words are inadequate to describe the beauty and charm of this place you must experience it for yourself. It will certainly take a particular place in your memories and in your photograph album.
