Assalamualaikum
It takes about 12 hours journey by bus from Istanbul to Cappadocia but we preferred to travel by flight, Pegasus airlines, that just took 1 hour. The price is affordable too.! The main attraction at Cappadocia is the hot air balloon. Usha-usha instagram Fazura untuk filem "Manisnya Cinta di Cappadocia", maka haruslah buat parody. Cappadocia means "The land of beautiful horses".
Colourful, simple, lively city.
We stayed at Falcon Cave Suites, a hotel inside a cave. Ada Jacuzzi okay.! It is a must to stay in a cave hotel because Cappa is famous with its rock and cave formation. Cappa is a small town and all hotels/hostels are walking distance to the city center. We stayed for 2 days, one night.
It is best to take tour as the attraction places are quite far. There are 3 tours: Red Tour (100 TL), Green Tour (120 TL) and Hot Air Balloon Tour (100 TL). Since we were on a budget trip, we chose to join red tour and green tour. These tours are highly recommended, worth every Turki Lira spent. Oh, and free buffet luncheon too.!!! Teringin nak naik hot air balloon, tapi mahal benau. Takpe la, next time. If there is next time.
Kenapa Cappa famous dengan batu dan gua.? Dekat area Cappa ada tiga gunung berapi yang aktif dan meletus lalu menghasilkan batu-batu yang bermacam bentuk. Bayangkan macam iklan coco crunch. Batu-batu ni lembut, jadi boleh dikikis/diukir menjadi gua. Gua-gua ni pulak jadi tempat tinggal monks/christians/paderi melarikan diri ke kawasan ni waktu kejatuhan tentera Byzantine. You should expect church dalam gua merata sana-sini. Nampak la beza seni Islam dan seni orang Kristian. Seni Islam sangat cantik.
WARNING: If you are allergic with rock, please close this tab. (digging my memories again because all I can see is rock.!)
RED TOUR
Red tour usually starts at 9.00am till 3.30pm. The travel agent will pick you up at your hotel and you will travel with a group of 15. The minibus ada wifi yaw. Boleh buat live update kat instagram. :p
Uchisar caslte : the highest peak of Cappa region and used to be a watch tower. (credit: syeeda)
Panas sangat sampaikan kene beli topi. Kalau sunburn, tak molek gambar graduation nanti. :p
Cotton candy clouds.
Goreme Open Air Museum: has well preserved Byzantine rock carved churches and frescoes.
Guray Comlekcilik: Ceramic house. Meleleh air liur tengok abang ni buat pasu.
Pasabagi: mushroom shaped fairy chimneys. The top is a hard rock and the bottom is soft rock that will change due to climate.
Tiba-tiba akak ni hulur camera. Ingatkan nak suruh tolong amekkan gamba dia, rupanye nak amek gamba dengan kitewww. Feeling retis gitu. :p
Devrent Vadisi: also known as imagination valley. You can see animal-shaped rocks. ie: camel, shark, kissing ducks, lizards, birds and more. (p/s: picture above shows me.! hewhew)
Bersama awek-awek Turki. One of the girl said "You look cute". LOL.
Gambar makanan wajib. Ni nama dia "Beef Casserole", a Turki traditional cuisine. Mixture of beef, jalapeno, tomato, onion and pepper. I think so. Must try, sedap sangat. Nak google the exact recipe.
Ok. So, that was the end of the red tour. Sambung green tour on next part. Malas nak taip panjang-panjang sebab nanti korang bosan baca. Sebenarnya aku yang bosan nak cerita. Toodles. :D
