Upon arrival one guy meet us at airport then we transferred to Cappadocia, after check in procedure our guide came to meet with us then we start to first day tour .First visit Devrent Valley to see the unique fairy-chimneys,open-air museum , Monk valley ,rock-cut churches and Christian settlements which date back hundreds of years. By the way Turkish meals are fantastic www.privatetoursinistanbul.com after tour we just lay to our bed down. Second day begin with baloon tour ( at about 05:30 a.m ), First we were in group who were excited and hesitant about ballooning. Our pilot was wonderful, he was very careful, knowledgably and informed about geography. I could easily to say that this is very different to see fairy chimneys from air rather than ground. Also second day was magnificent, too. After tour we get back where to begin. I assume that I could tell my dream, if you have a change I suggest you to see Cappadocia especially with this company. They are very kind and very successful also every time genial. would highly recommendistanbul tourshttp://www.privatetoursinistanbul.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023527055240026902.post-8707766823765364862011-07-06T10:25:34.487+01:002011-07-06T10:25:34.487+01:00Hi Harry, Fiona told us of your marathon journey. ...Hi Harry, Fiona told us of your marathon journey. I've really enjoyed hearing about where you've got to so far. We went to Meteora last year and were blown away by that and the mountains up there. I did the same overland trip in the 70s - much has changed I dare say. The best bit about travelling afloat is the people we meet - as you're discovering as well. Good luck!
