This is the first article with video of Cappadocia arranged from home. I think it was a shame not to publish them. I shot them on my traveling trip of Turkey.

In particular this are the ones that are usually not seen, because they are shot from below, walking among what are also called fairy chimneys, near the town of Goreme.

A paved road leads to the center of Goreme, consisting of excavated fairy chimneys and inhabited
Also in Goreme there are fairy chimneys excavated and inhabited

Video of Cappadocia shot with feet on the ground

The first video is an overview of the area around the city of Goreme.

Most only go there for the hot air balloon ride or by being dropped off by organized tours. While in my opinion the best is to walk among the fairy chimneys.

I’m speaking in Italian here, but I’m not saying anything serious, just that I feel like Indiana Jones.

Finally here I come out of what looks like a small canyon, and it is nothing more than a path in the middle of some fairy chimneys.

Ho sempre avuto tante passioni, ma da sempre più o meno latenti, le principali sono viaggiare e scrivere. Tra le altre cose ho una laurea in psicologia; ho fatto per più di 30 anni l’allenatore di basket; leggo tanti libri; sono stato molto appassionato di sport e di musica rock; e faccio improvvisazione teatrale. IL mio primo romanzo, che non parla di viaggi, si chiama LE TUE GAMBE SONO BELLE COME LE TAGLIATELLE
