Moon Cities in Cappadoccia

TURKEY | Wednesday, 15 November 2006 | Views [668]

We visited one of the most attractive area of Turkey. The region of Cappadoccia.

The landscape looks unreal, sometimes like some science fiction design. The geology is very special. Canyons, hills, mountains, valleys, and Hundreds of little holes in them, in which people were living before... SEE THE PICTURES !!

we visited a 100 percent undergound city. Thousands of people were leaving under ground, for months to escape invasions, wars... the city we visited was on 7 levels (!) and about 50m deep.

You know what a ant house looks like. Imagine the same for humans. Long and tiny tunnels, little rooms, a vertical tunnel for clean air. There's also a church !

as we like to explore, we also climbed some abandonned ''building''. Just a huge rock with dozens of galeries, rooms, and ruins of a castle on the top!

people were leaving in this region during all areas.

I guess this region is really unique. I do not know how to really describe more. Have a look to pictures or go there :)

By the way, we found there a UFO museum (OVNI)  !!! :D
