Goereme- the land of the fairy chimneys!

Cappadocia is famous for its fairy chimneys. Formed after years of wind and water erosion, of a plateau created by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago, fairy chimneys are formed when there is a layer of basalt on the top, more resistant to the erosion that the bottom layers, causing the formation of these chimneys.

We thought about it for very long and decided to spend our first morning on a group tour so that we got to see as much of cappadocia as we could in the short 2.5 days that we had.

The first stop was for a picturesque view of Goereme.



Alamak so cantik right?



We had a very earnest tourguide Jihan. He had a bad habit of answering my questions with, 'Hold On, I'm planning to tell you about it (the question i asked) when we get to the next point!' He was really sweet so it didn't frustrate me really, i suppose i should wait so that everyone gets to hear what he has to say right?

lol.
