Things to Do  

Uchisar

Uchisar, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  As we drove past this massive piece of rock full of cave homes, I got quite upset because they did not stop for us to take a photo. But then the tourleader told us to be patient as the best shot was in late afternoon and that they would be bringing us back here. Well he was... 

Devrent Valley - new Fairy chimneys being shaped

Devrent Valley - new Fairy chimneys being shaped, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  Our first stop was at the Devrent Valley and I thought I died and went to heaven. A dream was fulfilled and this "moon landscape" was so amazing to my eyes. I expected a creature from Star Wars or something alike to appear from the cave homes any minute. All over you can see... 

Kaymakli underground city

Kaymakli underground city, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  We also visited Kaymakli which is one of the largest underground settlements in the region. The tunnels are low, narrow, and steeply inclined. It is estimated that this underground city had a capacity of 20,000 people and also their animals. If you suffer from lung diseases,... 

Camel ride?

Camel ride?, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  This lovely camel was also there and added to the old world charm of the area. I am not sure if you could go for a ride on the camel or if it was just there for photo moments. 

Zelve valley - Jandarma

Zelve valley - Jandarma, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  Jandarma or police station, you will find in these old caves. I was totally surprised to see that they still use it actively today. What a lovely idea. 

Zelve valley - the tall structures

Zelve valley - the tall structures, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  One tends to think that these structures made by nature is low, but some of then are extremely high as you can see in this photo watch the size of the adults walking around at the bottom. 

Zelve valley - did they really live here

Zelve valley - did they really live here, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  Zelve is also very well known as the area in which the most interesting 'fairy chimneys' are situated. These chimneys were formed when the lava covering the tuff is eroded, leaving pinnacle formations. These pinnacles are capped with harder rocks resting at the top. In these... 

Zelve valley - getting lost in your imagination

Zelve valley - getting lost in your imagination, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  This is a place where your imagination can run freely. I expected a creature from Star Wars or something alike to appear from the cave homes any minute. There is a little open air museum here, but I did not go into the church as the ladder up there was extremely steep and we... 

Devrent valley - the lovers

Devrent valley - the lovers, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  This formation looks like two lovers kissing. I wonder how long their kissing will last with nature chissiling away on a daily basis. I think they might have entered a kissing competition, and will definately be victorious at the end, competition might be over, but will they... 

Devrent Valley - The sitting camel

Devrent Valley - The sitting camel, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  This formation looks just like a sitting camel and you do not even have to use a lot of imagination to see it. 

Zelve Valley

Zelve Valley, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  Looking over the Zelve Valley, one cannot but think that this is what it might look like on the moon. The moon like landscape here is better than the one in Namibia, but maybe that is just because this one played more tricks on my mind using the imagination. 

The Zelve Valley

Goreme Open air museum

Goreme Open air museum, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  My friend Elize and I was so excited about visiting this area and especially the Goreme Open air museum. This place really takes your breath away when you see what the people did those 100's of years ago and I was amazed at how well preserved most things were. The Goreme...

Dayinin Yeri (place of uncle)-AVANOS: Don't miss the "Adana Kebap"

Dayinin Yeri (place of uncle)-AVANOS: Don't miss the "Adana Kebap", Nevsehir

 buyruk Says:  The owner of the restaurant "Dayi" welcomes you at the entrance with a big smile. It is a local restaurant that you can eat sort of Turkish kebaps and you pay not so much there. The favorite dish is Adana Kebap with ayran! Also you can taste the local delicious salads! 

Gozleme

Gozleme, Nevsehir

 TomorrowsAngel Says:  We enjoyed watching the gozleme (thin griddle bread folded over with either mince or cheese) being made and cooked over a wood fire on a flat skillet.Gozleme is a Turkish food market favourite that is a cross between a pizza and a pancake.Gozleme is mostly made in the...

Shopping  

open air: Antique's

open air: Antique's, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  They were selling these antique looking articles, but I was not sure if you were allowed to take them out of the country. Also the guy was extremely ridiculous with his prices. 

open air: "indian style tops" and other clothes

open air: "indian style tops" and other clothes, Nevsehir

 mvtouring Says:  Everywhere you will find people selling ladies clothing. I bought an Indian type top made from Turkish cotton and I must tell you it washes beautifully. 

Tourist Traps  

Rip-off

Rip-off, Nevsehir

 TomorrowsAngel Says:  Our tour group was taken to a ceramic factory which said their prices were 25% reduced for groups.Luckily we'd already priced better quality product in Goreme that morning so weren't sucked in! Visiting factories is cool because you get to see the manufacturing process...
