My Turkish Diary - Part 9: Cappadocia {VLOG}

by ChocolateFashionCoffee - 05:13

Hey everyone! I am back with a new travel vlog from Cappadocia! I am pretty sure many of you know about this place, in the last few years it got a worldwide fame, loads of fashion bloggers had photoshoots there (ex. tuulavintage). Me and two of my american friends, Heather and Andrew went on a tour from Malatya, organized by a turk, Önder. It was such a hectic weekend, we got to see many amazing places. Some of them I forgot to vlog, but you can see more pictures on my Instagram account if you are curious. (@saci_cfc).

If you ever want to travel to Turkey and have more time, Cappadocia is definitely worth visiting. We started our journey with watching the hot air balloons in the early morning, after that visited Haci Bektas, Avanos where we went with the gondola, Güray museum, Göreme National Park and finished our first day with a Turkish Night at Uranos restaurant. Second day we went to Derinkuyu underground city, a UNESCO protected site, Uchisar Castle & Pigeon Valley, Baglidere Vadisi - which we named Valley of Penis because of the shapes of the rocks, hehe. We ended our second day eating manti in Kaisery, and headed back to Malatya.

I really hope I will get to visit it again, and hopefully have more time to explore the beauty of this region. Also, a fancy photoshoot is my ultimate dream!

PS: We met the owner of an antique shop in Üçhisar. His family has been featured in The National Geographic Magazine in 1958 - January in an article dedicated to Cappadocia. He showed us his mother, father, grandparents and brother, but he was born a year later so he is not in the picture. So amazing!

Next stop, Antalya!! Kisses!
