I’ve seen pictures of this place in travel magazines for years and now we’ve been there. Pictures can’t do the landscape justice, it is like a fairyland. The valley was formed when a volcano erupted and then people carved cave churches with frescos which were still beautiful) and homes which housed thousands of people. We had a beautiful morning when we saw most of the area so I wasn’t too disappointed when it rained in the afternoon. We visited a Turkish rug coop where they showed us how they spun the silk, dyed the thread and made the beautiful rugs that we were able to resist. The other two families each bought a rug. It was tempting. We ended the day with an entertaining performance of the Whirling Dervishes. No photos allowed. So we got a picture of a picture. On to the Mediterranean Sea today
