This is Why I Keep Going Back to CAPPADOCIA

[@AudiophileTubes]

Your travel videos are beyond AMAZING, Mr. Gabriel! Even though I get to travel every 2 or 3 years myself (visited Greece with my daughter this past summer, and went to Paros, Nafplio, Sparta, Tripoli, Elefonisos, and drove around Southern Peloponnese coastal towns), I live vicariously through you, since you will invariably visit so many incredible places on the planet that most of us will never get to see! I always say... if you have money, time, and health, GO TRAVEL NOW! There is nothing as fascinating and pleasing as visiting new places and meeting new people! Not even a top of the line new Lexus with a red bow on it!

[@chinablueify]

I was there 1 year ago, I just missed you in Istanbul returning from Georgia and Arminia, all on your recommendation, keep inspiring us all. 40 counties now 😍

[@jimsbooksreadingandstuff]

Cappadocia is indeed incredible, I have only been there once. In Georgia we have cave cities like Vardzia and Uplitsikhe but Cappadocia is something else!

Are you still on Thassos? Direct bus from the cities in northeastern Greece to Istanbul with Arda Tur, the bus I took. Then a short, cheap flight to Kayseri. But I'm guessing you have a fixed schedule and can't just pop over here.

[@RovexHD]

My favorite area in all the world is Northern Med from France to Turkey, including going up the Aegean Sea. Cappadocia is a must for Turkey. Maybe the true Garden of Eden?

[@Μαρίαπ-μ8β]

The earliest findings in Cappadocia region are from the Hittites 12c BC and the Phrygians,in 8-7th cBC the earliest.Phrygian are a mix of Greek with elements of Armenian language.Have a nice and enjoyable stay there! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrygians

[@andybaker2456]

I beat you to Cappadocia by 10 months, I was there in February 2009! Just before I arrived they'd had very heavy snow, literally about 12 inches had fallen. It had stopped snowing by the time I arrived, and the skies were a clear and vibrant blue the whole time I was there. It was still incredibly cold (so I beg to differ about them not having bitter winters 😆), meaning the snow didn't budge either. The combination of the stunning landscapes, the thick snow, and the vibrant skies made for a magnificent trip and some stunning photos, especially from a hot air balloon! I stayed in the hotel right next to that first Fairy Chimney you stopped to look at. Back then, it was called the Pasha Han Hotel (I don’t know whether it still is), and I was their only guest at the time! That place opposite, with all the carpets hanging outside (an old Caravanserai) belonged to the same family as the hotel, and I was often invited in to the shop to share Turkish coffee, wine and Pide with the family. As a thank-you for their hospitality, I bought an antique Turkish wedding headdress from the shop, that I still have on display in my living room to this day. Happy times, happy memories! 😊

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Very cool. 👍

[@michaelruzhinski8954]

[@darylfortney8081]

Goreme looks to have changed tremendously since my visit in 2001. Don’t remember any hot air balloons nor really even many tourists. Would probably be disappointed to return now. It felt like a real undiscovered gem

Bosnia Herzegovina 🇧🇦 has had an increase in Turkish 🇹🇷 visitors due high prices and EU visa hassle. Turkish Air flights from from SFO with their Turkish tourism promotions entice me to visit, but inevitably end up in the Balkan countries as it is a better value proposition.

[@unknown-user]

Bryce Canyon kind of scenery, but I like Bryce better because it’s well preserved and not built-up.

[@Machka-j7q]

Just to clarify, the reason it's 'built-up' is because the original Byzantium inhabitants in the 4th century carved dwellings into the stone- they lived there. Goreme national park and the rock sites of Cappadocia are a UNESCO world heritage site, so I guess Bryce Canyon is cool geologically, but not of outstanding universal value, both historically and geologically.

[@unknown-user]

@@Machka-j7q My main point is that the value in any site is how undisturbed by modern humans. This whole site has been gutted to make way to mass tourism.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, it's odd to see these sites not knowing if they're public property or private property but you do have access to. Still, I would think this would fall under the heading of UNESCO World Heritage to maintain the sites rather than selling and converting than to hotels. I'm guessing there are certain areas that fall under those criteria. It's interesting how the manager is showing you around getting provided with a with free publicity he realizes you were a vlogger, and he could get a quick promotion. There are some other incredible sites around in Naples, Sottrerranea route, and in South Australia called Coober Pedy just fascinating.

[@darylfortney8081]

Have you ever been to Chapada Diamontina in Brasil? The very small stone town of Igazu is impressive in a similar way but with huge natural boulders that people have blasted into for their homes. If not you should go check it out. The entire national park region is amazing.

I'm considering the sailing vessels that go from Turkiye to Tunisia or Sicily to Tunis. Is the threat of piracy so great on such a cruise? Who knows? Or, might the trip need to include Morocco, I wonder? Tunisia looms as a destination to wait out the optimal schengen days & might also be a winter 3 month gardening opportunity, it seems. I'm searching for some wwoof farms there and/or to practice some French near Sfax or Sousse. Found only 3 so far to investigate.
