Aron and I have been talking about going to Turkey forever. Why wouldn’t we? Transcontinental Eurasia… Rich history… Hammams… Glorious beaches… Markets and mosques… Lunar-like Cappadocia…
And while we don’t know that we’ll get to visit anytime soon, I’ve been following along as Julia and Yurly traipse about in our stead. Their most recent photos (here and here) from their visit to the conic caves and fairy chimneys of Cappadocia are incredible: it’s such surreal scenery.

You need to go!!
I have been to Turkey in April for two weeks, it is super nice! And yes, Cappadocia is like a fairytale come true. Beyond beautiful! Best turkish food ever in Goereme, Cappadocia and the cave hotels are amazing!
Viele Gruesse, Kristina
Beautiful!
Turkey is one of the most magical and interesting places I have been to. You need to go!
I love their blog! My fiance and I are trying to decide if we should go to Turkey for our honeymoon. It's so tempting!
Beautiful! Just beautiful.
Ooooh! So beautiful. My brother for his birthday received a cookbook called "Turquoise" about a couple who wanders around Turkey and they have a section on Cappadocia (as well as a recipe for meringue fairy chimneys). Since then I've wanted to go so much…

Go! Go! Never been but one of my best friends went a couple of years ago and LOVED it…
ps – Happy New Year!!
that image is phenomenal…what beautiful scenery, i can't think of a better word than "surreal"…that's exactly what i thought.
their blog is one of my favourites! i've added turkey and other cities to my 'must visit' list based on their blog – photos are gorgeous and the writing is informative too.
A wonderful idea. I love to travel and Turkey ranks among my favorite places. I hope you can go!
I went with my baby and sister-in law- it was fantastic. We stayed in a cave and loved every second of it. Everyone was welcoming and lovely.
i wholeheartedly recommend turkey as well! alas, i was not able to visit cappadocia, but next time! i am definitely going back (and bringing mike with me this time!)
I feel like every time we've decided to go, we end up having too short a time. And we would have considered it for a break we have in February, but I'm dying for some hot weather–I'd like to go during warmer months and mix Istanbul and the interior with some time on the coast. But believe me: we will make it there before too long!
You shouldn't promote blogs that just rip off other people's blogs even if they do take good pictures.
who are they ripping off?
Turkey would be in incredible! Oh man, you make me want to travel all the time!
turkey is awesome!!!!
Ah that sounds wonderful! Turkey is definitely on my list as well.
So fantastic! As a fellow New Yorker, I love the posts on NYC, but it's always good to move away from being too ethnocentric
Turkey is beautiful! Hope you get a chance to visit and stay long enough to see all the best.
incredible- who even knew a place like this still exists.
Hi – I am new to your blog. I just saw all those shots from the snow blizzard – utterly amazing! We saw it on the news…anyway hello – nice to 'meet' you! Lou x
Wow, that looks amazing!
We've filmed in Cappadocia twice for our PBS travel TV show, Equitrekking. The new episode is broadcasting now. We have videos at http://eqkk.us/eh and http://eqkk.us/g3
Thanks, everyone!
I've watched your show multiple times on PBS, Darley–it's great. Thanks for sharing these episodes!
Nice to meet you, too, Lou!
I love their blog! And this place is so gorgeous!
my husband is DYING to go to turkey– and that picture looks absolutely unreal!
can i be a stowaway in one of your future trips? i'll even take the pictures so you two can be in more together!!!!
I have been dreaming of Cappadocia for the last few years and their photos are GORGEOUS! Now i think we need to plan a trip NOW!
Wow, what an amazing place! Will def get there someday.
Turkey is an amazing country, and Cappadocia is out of this world (literrally!) Felt like we stepped into a different planet when we were there. Definitely go if you can!
Hi Ashley. One of our commenters informed us that they came from here. Thank you so much for writing about our little blog. I hope our photos are just what you & Aron need to push you to book the tickets to Turkey.
Happy to have found your blog.
I must admit that I had never really thought about Turkey as a top place to go, but your pictures and description have totally changed my mind on this!
Come visit us and then continue to Turkey!
