Other Things to do in Cappadocia and Göreme:
Goreme is beautiful. In fact, Goreme was famous for tourists long before the existence of the Cappadocia hot air balloons. It’s a small town, one which you can walk around, with lovely restaurants and bars. It’s the natural architecture, the natural ‘chimneys’ that have formed that frew in the crowds. And now much of the buildings have been constructed ‘into’ those chimneys, leaving impressive results.
