Byron’s parents are visiting Turkey for three weeks; we’re spending two of those weeks with them, first traveling around the country a little and more recently here in Cappadocia. Two days ago, we spent the afternoon visiting the Open Air Museum in the village of Goreme–perhaps Cappadocia’s biggest tourist attraction. It’s an amazing cluster of old Christian churches, all carved into the rocks. Several of them have impressive frescoes still visible (but no photography allowed). If you’re interested in seeing such frescoes in person, then, you’ll need to make some flight reservations.
Once you’re here, food and accommodation are on us…
wow, these structures just amaze me. in person they must be kind of awe-inspiring. i can’t imagine the work that went into them.
Believe me, that is a very tempting offer….be careful!
