ISTANBUL - CAPPADOCIA
Early in the morning we will fly
to Kayseri for the Cappadocia Valley in the heart of the Anatolian
Plateau, and marvel at the twisted lunar landscape. Successive eruptions
of a now-extinct volcano left the plateau covered with volcanic tuff,
which was transformed by intense erosion into beautiful landscapes of
cones, columns, and canyons. Between the 4th and 13th centuries Christians
hewed dwellings and sanctuaries from the rock, totally incorporating the
architecture into the landscape. |
