Cappadokia

İ m now almost finishing my journey through Turkey. after 5 weeks. İ have now reached the half of my way to İndia...
İ m ın Dogubeyazit at the moment, the last town 40 km before the border with İran.
And it is time for me to give some pictures about the last 10 days.

First the way from the coast to Cappadokia: some really special hills with really few vegetation.










Cappadokia:
=========
The Cappadokia is situated south of Ankara and is a small region where volcanic activties some thousands years ago and sedimentation with wind and water have created that world-wide unique relief !
İt give really wonderful sceneries, small villages with some kind of chimneys in which are built houses...

Guzelyurt - Selime :

Goreme : (ou le village des schtroumfs)
A wonderfull place full of colours... where i put my tent for 3 days.










Ucishar :




















So Cappadokia is a wonderful place ideal for children (i can imagine i would have liked it to walk these places beeing younger) and architects i guess.... A dream-lıke place !


Following are some pictures of the road from Cappadokia to Erzurum. Back on the silk road heading east. A long and difficult way because of the really bad state of the road to go upto 2000m hıgh. A really basic road narrowing in hıgh altitudes valleys... Not yet the steppe but already really nice plateaus...
After that 2 days journey (700km approximatively), i can defenitively say how much Turkey is great fore its wonderful sceneries...and mostly for its mountains..İ saw so much different types of mountains in here !
