Cappadocia was definitely one of my favourite places Ive been to so far. Pretty much it was a whole city made from houses in the mountains. Back in the day no-one could see these rock mountains until some priests went out to seek God and found them. They thought they were great so they made their home there. I got to see homes, churches, schools really everything. They were great cause they were cool in the really hot weather and they were hidden from enemies. Im very impressed with the people, cause in the beginning it would have just been lots of boulders, but they then chipped away at them to make them hollow and into homes. They were like cubbie houses but you climb up the wall into a tunnel. The tunnels always went up and were like a ladder to each level.
Some people still live in the cave homes around the city.
This was the roof of one of the churches and below somewhere is a painting of Jesus. Their were lots of different artwork in the churches.
This was one of the ones I climbed up. It was actually very hard and was pretty much rock climbing in bare feet as I needed the grip. Was a bit scary, but so glad I did it.
These are the mushroom ones.
Can you find me...
This is the cave hotel we stayed in. It was supposedly were one of the priests lived in as their was a moque next door.
