Cappadocia

Cappadocia was such an interesting place. The "fairy chimneys", and cave dwellings made you think of something from a science-fiction/fantasy story. The cave dwellings were home to many monastic groups, and were a hiding place for early Christians during times of persecution. Even our hotel rooms were built within the caves - it was pretty modern living for us though! Underground cities were also built - 8 levels deep! People could live beneath the ground in these "cities" for up to 2 months, but you wouldn't have wanted to be very big - some of the hallways, (crawl-ways) were pretty tight!
