well good morning friends I am coming to
you from a very unique place today I am
in Cappadocia in Turkey and this is
actually the top place that I wanted to
see on this journey
so what Cappadocia is probably most well
known for is their hot air balloon
flights but what a lot of people don't
know is that this whole area is actually
a very unique geographical location
where thousands upon thousands of years
ago volcanoes erupted covered the whole
area in ash and over time with erosion
just the harder sort of structures were
left so as you guys can kind of see
right behind me the area that we're in
right now is called the fairy chimneys
which are the larger sort of you know
spheres coming up from the ground but
there's a whole bunch of different
places with a lot of really unique sort
of cutouts in the stronger stone that
was left and during the Roman period
lots of Christians who weren't able to
practice their religion actually fled to
this area as a sort of refuge and they
built these very interesting cave homes
into the rock as I'm about to show you
guys so we are going to have a full day
of exploring here today we do have to
leave in the morning sadly hoping that I
will be able to see the hot-air balloons
take off but either way I'm really
excited to be here and just check out
the area
so I'm actually inside one of the cave
homes right now and it's so surreal
because it really does look like a house
like there are you guys can see little
places where they probably stored things
I assume I don't know maybe they had
bats in there who knows well yeah
there's like windows probably slept on
the floor and it looks like there's even
like an attic up there I think so really
actually looks like a house for how old
it is so this right here is actually a
church because I'll show you guys in
just a sec there is a sort of cross kind
of carved into the stone so as you guys
can see right here this is the cross and
up here was probably a main entryway
into the church I don't think we can go
inside but it does look like they have
some interesting sort of carvings I'm
not sure what the lower sort of part was
and then over here there's even some
lower sort of entrances but it makes me
wonder how large the people were because
some of the openings are pretty small
and you'd have to be pretty short to get
in them
[Music]
so I think we've officially found where
the millionaires of the village had
their penthouse suite so to say this
particular cave house is like huge
there's all these nooks and crannies and
all these big gateways sort of entries
but what I noticed that I haven't seen
in any of the other houses is that they
actually carved into the roof like
that's actually pretty amazing I don't
know if that was like the first people
who lived here or this came afterwards
but just the fact that that's there is
incredible yeah as you guys can see like
there's windows on the second levels and
up here on the third level I actually
don't even know how you get up there um
they have little cubby holes and I
really wonder what they put in there did
they have like knickknacks did they
store food in there let me know in the
comments down below what you think they
put in there
I'm a Georgia day
all right so I'm going to be tying those
in there for the first time it's in
these nice little pieces and I got mine
Vichy which is exciting this one has
potato feta and spinach so my need is
really good it's like super flaky and
because there wasn't really any oil or
anything to use it has this nice like
Chris penis and tar on the side and with
the cheese everything just melts
together it's hot it's savory it's
delicious so just outside they also have
a juice press and we ended up getting
some freshly squeezed pomegranate juice
which I've already had here in Turkey
it's delicious and very different from
the stuff you see in super stores of
that like palm real real pomegranate
juice this is like the real deal
whoa that is like a ton of antioxidants
but the juice is amazing
[Music]
so this room is absolutely ridiculous I
assume this is another church I think
but the carvings in here is much more
advanced with these columns and this
dome as you guys saw earlier I thought
just like the roof and that one house
was crazy but this is a whole other
level so so far from everything that
we've seen I would probably say that
this area is the most advanced sort of
architecture you could say the walls
scale up so high there are so many
levels there's carvings there's frescoes
and you really get a sense of like
people lived here and had this
incredible civilization so if you guys
are really really really short on time
I'd say this should be your like number
one stop
[Music]
all right guys it is my last morning
here in Cappadocia and unfortunately the
hot air balloons did not go up today
either a little bit sad because I was
really hoping to see that and I guess
that's just a lesson for anybody else
who is thinking of coming to Cappadocia
like just know that it really depends on
the weather and of course in the
offseason there is more of a chance that
it's going to get canceled if that's
super important to you I would recommend
making sure that you book yourself at
least 4 or 5 days here so you have a
longer sort of window to be able to go
you can just get in touch with one of
the companies and they'll kind of let
you know how it goes but I mean at the
end of the day I am still really glad I
came here I think this is just a very
unique and beautiful place and would
really recommend it and honestly I do
see myself coming back because I do plan
to take a hot-air balloon ride and
explore the area a little bit more I
feel like just with one day we kind of
just touched on things and there's so
much else to see but I hope you guys
enjoyed this video and let me know in
the comments down below if you've ever
been to Cappadocia and what your
impressions are or what you thought of
this city and other than that I hope you
guys are having an amazing day keep
being your own kind of beautiful and I
will see you soon bye guys
