| Page Views: 2,237 Last Visit to Goreme: July, 2003 | Göreme and Cappadocia by MalenaN - last update: Jan 8, 2004 |
|  | The landscape in Cappadocia looks like nothing else with its strange rockformations. The vulcanic tufa rock has been erroded by wind and water for millions of years. The tufa stone is porous and soft until it comes in contact with air and it has been perfect for carving churches and houses.
Tourists come to Göreme to see the amazing landscape, visit the rock cut churches with painted frescos, the underground cities with their labyrinths of rooms and corridores and to walk in the beautiful valleys. |

Thank you Malena for bringing back memories about this area! I'm working at my own Goreme page now which is coming soon after Kaymakli! Your trip by balloon was exciting I believe. I didn't take this opportunity unfortunately (it was rainy that morning). | Luchonda Sun Oct 5, 2008 11:30 UTC
Fantastic report and pics. Balloon flying must be a sensation. | graeme83 Tue Sep 30, 2008 14:09 UTC
