Cappadocia -- Getting There

Cappadocia is located more or less in the center of Turkey, fairly far from all the larger cities, but is nevertheless a popular tourist destination. With a rough, eerie landscape it looks like a moonscape dotted with cute boutique hotels, tourist souvenir shops, and cool restaurants. OK, maybe that sounds not so attractive, but the area is so unique that if you are ever in Turkey or the region it is well worth the side trip to go there for a couple of days.

We drove from Georgia into Eastern Turkey, flew from Kars to Ankara, and took a bus to Cappadocia. While there we stayed in a Fairy Chimney, ate great meals, bought a carpet. The following series of photos should give you a good idea. Enjoy!

Our car at the Georgia/Turkey border... definitely the back door between the countries.

Duy Free was not open that day!

The scenery on the Turkish side of the border was beautiful.

Huge bus station in Ankara

With a lot of people just standing around.
