It's impossible to not take your phone out or
your camera out just take photos and videos of everything.
And wow it was carved in the 9th century so in the 800's. So it's a 1200 year old church. Really incredible.
Today we are gonna be traveling to Cappadocia and see what the hype is really about.
So we're finally in Cappadocia and it's 8:55 PM. We left Istanbul at 9:45.
Welcome to the ancient city of Cappadocia. We are in the town of Göreme and
it is so beautiful today. It is a beautiful town and today is a beautiful day. It's sunny,
it's pleasant outside. Ah we can't wait to explore this little town with you. Like how ancient is
this part. I mean just walking around alone is beautiful just seeing all the rock formations is
incredible and we're going to walk a lot here too. We just want to take in all the scenery.
It's our first full day. We're only here a few days. We want to take it all in enjoy as much as we can.
It's so beautiful. It feels like we're on another planet. It really does. Like I think
for this alone we would say it's worth coming to Cappadocia, even if you want to just to come.
Before you get into any of the sights or any of the any activities, just to walk around and just
see it is really a sight to behold. Something you have to do at least once in your life.
It is mesmerizing. It's impossible to not take your phone out or your camera out just take photos and
videos of everything. So we're so excited to get up this morning because we got in pretty late last night.
And we could tell the magic that was here, but we couldn't fully experience and enjoy it until now, until the daytime.
We're also very lucky because even though this is like a peak time of year to visit
Cappadocia, it's not very busy right now. I mean of course with Covid, but even
even then it's still very very few people out here right now. I can imagine how packed this place must
be. We're very lucky to be here at this time. And stunning is an understatement of this place. I mean
look at that. I think old is not the right statement for it. Ancient. Ancient like wow look
at that. It's so so beautiful. Gotta think we've visited many ancient sites around the world.
Machu Picchu, Bagan in Burma, Angkor Wat, there's the Kedah ancient civilization. There is what Angkor Wat and
this site feels so different to us. It's very - the fact that you can just walk around it and
slowly discover it and there's just so beautiful formations everywhere. It's just very accessible
too. Like you know some of these other sites you have to pay to get in, it's usually like a crazy
it's like almost like a mad house. Not not the case here. You could just walk down
the street and just leisurely just walk into. See people just hanging out chilling in some of these
old buildings. You can walk on the side like at your own pace and leisure it's not like a time
constraint we have the "oh you have to be here only three hours and leave." Not the case here it's great.
This was a church kitchen
So we just did. We just went inside one of the old - I mean the oldest and probably the grandest church.
Yeah even the guy said this is the nicest. Wow. It was carved in the 9th century, so in the 800's.
So it's a 1200 year old church. Really incredible that is ancient. It is so beautiful in there. It's
so peaceful. And being a Christian myself, I feel privileged to be able to touch something so old.
The hands of those people who carved those rocks or those stones, their memory still lives on until now.
The view here is absolutely stunning. You can see so much of Göreme from up here
in Göreme village. Like it's so cool to see all these volcanic formations. In the distance.
everything is kind of just more like desert type mountains and this is like an oasis of
beauty right in the middle. Incredible. Again this is someone you just can walk around explore
at your own pace without having to pay one lira to get into anything. That's the beauty of this place.
My turkey trip wouldn't be complete this is the highlight. Have you ever been to Turkey if you
didn't go to Cappadocia? True. It is something you have to see at least once in your life. Absolutely.
Absolutely it is stunning and it's so beautiful that you gotta see it once in your life if you can.
If the photos and the videos are beautiful then it is uh way above that in
in real life. I mean there are other prehistoric ancient sites in Turkey, but
this one is out of this world. It's not like anywhere else in the world. True
The food's really good and I love the hospitality. They actually give you a
whole bunch of extra dishes without you asking for it like yogurt dip, menemen, this baklava.
Adana kebab is really smoky juicy delicious. I love the view. Great hospitality. They give you
a massive tea at the end. First time seeing it with a handle. Makes it a lot easier to drink.
This spot is called Cancan Restaurant. Spelled like "Can Can"

We're going to enjoy this meal and see you in the next vlog.
