- Cappadocia is a place that
I've wanted to visit for years. As part of a partnership with
Exodus
Travels, a bunch of their contest winners
got to spend a few days with me in Türkiye, including Istanbul
& Cappadocia. Ancient volcanic activity has shaped the landscape
here in such a way that It looks like it belongs in a fantasy
novel.
-
- The most striking features
are the "Fairy Chimneys", ancient volcanic eruptions
blanketed the region in thick ash, which later solidified into
a soft rock called ‘tuff’. When the natural forces
of wind and water (erosion) did their work, only the harder elements
were left behind to form the fairy chimneys that can be seen
today, stretching as far as 130 feet into the sky.
-
- I had the great pleasure of
being able to view this incredible landscape from above on an
early morning hot air balloon ride. An experience not to be missed!
