Marvels of Cappadocia

Loved this area of Turkey. There are wonderful hikes, and the scenery is spectacular. Thousands of years ago, people used to live in man-made caves: both under and above ground. Some still lived there until fairly recently, when forced to move to apartments by the government. Rock slides were becoming a hazard.

Pics are of the exterior of the church of El Nazar, and a view of Uchisar. Fascinating.
