C a p p a d o c i a is one of the wonders of the world!
It is the result of the natural forces during the intense volcanic activity around 30 million years ago! All these volcanic earthquakes gives amazing layers in the mountain landscape with crazy forms and natural colors!

Another name I give Cappadocia is The Flintstones :) Today Cappadocia (750km from Istanbul and 300km from Ankara) is (also in the UNESCO World Heritage Centre list) and it is one of the most popular, beautiful and adventurous travel destination of the world! :love:

! With amazing and unique 5* cave-resorts, quad/cycle action toursports, museums, valley/safari tours, underground cities and Hot air balloons (each morning more than 60 balloons) what makes Cappadocia (Kapadokya) (popular cities: Göreme, Uçhisar and Ürgüp) in Central Turkey a must-see/and explore destination! :shocked:

The valleys inside... The beautiful nature... And in the early morning the hot air balloons everywhere! :nuts: :)
In the evening you can see big (laser)lights in the air of difference cave resorts/hotels and entertainment/disco's.

In bad weather conditions and also in the night when it is (enormously) dark it is dangerous to fly with a hot-air-balloon (specially in the Cappadocia area). These balloons (can) reach a meter of 1500/2000 meter here and it is irresponsible to practice than! So in many gusts or darkness it is risk full specially when you land or fly between these unique and amazing mountains...
And by the way... How you want to enjoy this beautiful view like a bird in the night? :)

Be ready for your unforgatteble moments than!

Each morning you can see more than 60-70 hot air balloons in the air. It is like ufo's everywhere! Don't come back without a hot air balloon trip! These trips are not like in other countries. The original Cappadocia area have a amazing and unique landscape what you only can find here! Like my first post here:

The next thing I advice you is to stay in a cave resort! Goreme city (and also in Uçhisar and Ürgüp) you can find much of these resorts! (Also popular worldhotels).

... Than we have the wonderful and adventerous valleys that you need to visit/walk (or with a sportive cycle of Motor/Quad in the normal valleys) and the underground citys... + historical churches and mosques... http://www.goreme.com/places-to-see-in-cappadocia.php

All with all, In Cappadocia you need to be ready for the beautiful and amazing thing/moments you will experience. Don't forget extra accu's/batterys for your camera...
