The Most Fascinating Place On Earth? Exploring Cappadocia

[@19bendunk]

i like how gabriel communicate with locals so nicely and being so polite. safe travel !

[@SisterSherryDoingStuff]

Wow, just simply, WOW. Thought I could watch while I hung up my laundry... Nope! Had to sit down for this one.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool. :)

[@LeoFtravels]

The place is Awesome, the people are friendly and the food is great

[@sunny_dhende6289]

I stayed 2 months in 2016 at Emily's cave house and rode those balloons a few times absolutely was a thrill of a lifetime! I stayed at the cave house as a base home n rented a car that way I could travel around the whole region for a couple of months was so well worth it. Btw that wasn't a crepe it's called Gözleme it's a Turkish pastry flat bread 😉 they are my favorite with a big bowl of lentil soup.😋 So happy you got the chance to visit this beautiful and enchanting area of fairy chimneys in 🇹🇷. I like you, took out my camera and video taped because there was nobody around so happy I did because to see it in real life was just a beautiful experience. One of my favorite places on earth!! Stay safe n enjoy Gabe!✌

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Ah that was gozleme, good to know. I see the signs for it everywhere, need to try it again.

[@kenmasters2034]

Cappadokia, the land of Greek santa claus (saint Basil - Greek orthodox Bisop).The santa claus as we know him in our days and adopted by many other European countries was also a Greek and was living in ancient Greek city Arsinoe - Patara in our days .(saint Nicholas)

[@pop-n-rock]

exactly, these are all conquered Greek places by Turks

[@avrilyaxley2084]

What a beautiful cave it looks so homey. Once again thank you. ❤

[@izzahhassan8817]

me and husband just back from turkey last month.. the best holiday destination ever.. from malaysia :)

[@remurraymd]

great video amazing the last supper was being painted 1000 years before Da Vinci in christian caves

[@eeeecccc]

Stayed there too. The hot air balloons at 6am were like Christmas morning excitment levels for adults.

[@nickpanayiotou684]

This has to be one of the most beautiful place that I have ever seen. I will definitely be visiting there very soon haha

[@couchsurfer2856]

Awesome trippin through Flintstone ville

[@samuel1121]

Very interesting place,thanks for taking us along..

[@libbyjones552]

Just amazing Gabriel! I love all of this city! The fairy chimneys are beyond belief. I love you taking the time to explain everything in detail. Excellent job!! Take care 😁

[@calistatv_myday]

i love Cappadokia😄 i like cave and balloon and kebab. thanks for sharing💕

[@LV-gf3ev]

Marvelous cave-houses...what a mysterious place, nice job Gabriel! Very nice past reffering video slots...

[@ArcAudios77]

Gabriel, excellent exploration in a very interesting Region. At 21:50 Don't presume that specific concrete = modern structure. That concrete has been manufactured and used for over 2,000 years.

[@DodyFebriarto]

Wow.. It's great video 😄😄 Amazing Cappadocia.. It should be exciting for you after 10 years..

[@Sonny0276]

Great Video. Thank you for posting.

[@angelg.8462]

Nice video! Looks like I'll need a month to travel around Turkey and enjoy all these beautiful sights😁

[@AdzwayTV]

Gabriel’s content is always outstanding

[@vetiverjohn8546]

Cappadocia and Petra are on my bucket list, hopefully early spring. How heavily touristed is the town? It seems that the museum area receives the bulk of the tourists. Thanks for this series of videos!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Goreme is pretty busy but not crazy and as soon as you leave the town things mellow out a lot. Petra is one of my other favorite places.

[@TheHuski]

Wow amazing footage of the painted walls by the Greek monks... They were a long way from home... Interesting place... Safe Travels Gabriel .. 👍👍

[@okhanuludag]

Not greek

[@TheHuski]

AskerVR Byzantine Monks were Ancient Greek monks...

[@aokiaoki4238]

This is their home

[@karmathegiant]

Interesting to just explore. I was thinking the same thing when I first saw those small holes near the ceilings. Probably used to hang herbs 🌿 etc to dry. Interesting how the dish was cooked.

[@VitalityMassage]

The horses are grazing on stubs. lol Poor things.

[@laurajulia6596]

Amooooo a Turquia

[@alpapatel4168]

I love capadokiya.

[@paulharvey2396]

Thank you Gabriel this is very helpful to the little book I am writing, part of my “Stean Anthony” work, ongoing now for some 15-20 years. God bless you and prosper you family and friends amen.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, This is of those days you just pinch yourself a really great day where everything goes as plan. Those murals must be amazing the colors that are used worked under day and candle lighting such artisan craftmanship.

[@stephenmyers7298]

Definitely on my bucket list. Greetings from Montreal.

[@maxmandan2023]

Stayed at that same hotel in 2018.. love the place.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Absolutely 👍 fantastic.

[@ItalianIrishguy]

Only you are capable of making me watch a vlog of TURKEY. 😒 Interesting video Gab.

[@eleniasimop]

Very good video. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@Mesoud]

I well visit there soon it was in my plan long time ago loks like petra

[@huacamaya119]

Bedrock 😅

[@Mesoud]

😁😁 well u visit there

[@skiaddict08]

Love how you say you're from the United States rather than 'America'. Such amazing films you are making, I knew Turkey was interesting and you've solidified that for me. Great camerawork and narrating.

[@pcy_natia7037]

agree man! thats the best place i have ever been.

[@Carma_1]

Thumbnail for the video in my e-mail looked like a deleted video But I clicked on it and the video was there...thankfully! ☺

[@hippydjkit9913]

Thanks for the trip Gabriel...........

[@marafarnham595]

Amazing Gabriel! Thank you! Caves are beautiful, nice to see how they would be furnished. What a sight can't wait to see more! Stay safe 😊❤🙏

[@mumblic]

11:50 The young Gabriel was clearly a sneaky boy ! ;-))

[@MarkBH70]

Wonderful, Gabriel. I don't know who else shows this!

[@uranuuss]

man i really want to travel around my country

[@helenwilliamson7099]

Wow amazing 😊

[@BillKing3456]

So, so cool. You could have gone north of 30 minutes and panned more slowly and you'd still have had us all still watching to the end. I like that you did a 'Gabriel Invades' (the apartment in a cave) like Harald Baldr - it was interesting to see so glad u did it, 'up close & personal'. I also can totally relate that you totally got into the aspect of the fairy chimneys and caves going on and on and on and on ... When I've been in environments where things are like that (Mesa Verde's cliff dwellings, Yellowstone's hot springs/geysers, Iceland's waterfalls (and hot springs/geysers), Salzburg's & Vienna's & San Francisco's endlessly amazing architecture) it's just so intoxicating you never want to leave because it makes you feel so high on life. Definitely picked up that vibe from your video - like being a kid in a candy store. Congratulations - excellent destination & excellent video.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Right on, thanks Bill. I'll try to keep in mind the slower panning.

[@bucktaylor1667]

There must be a lot of stone cuttings tools they used to excavate the rock. I wonder if you can see any of those type of artifacts in the museums.

[@costiniucmircea]

Wonderful presentation !

[@Yesenia.Garcia]

Random question but is Turkish food spicy at all? It looks so beautiful there by the way! I can see why its one of your favorite places. Have you been to Teotihuacán? Sort of reminds me of it but Turkey looks amazing!

[@Dragonfoot-bf7kn]

Turkish food can be spicy, it depends on the dish :) In general they use a lot of spices in their food, but it varies a lot from region to region.

[@gundenurozel4982]

I love Turkey

[@littlemohawk13]

Can’t wait to go back there again after watching your video 💜👍🏻

[@huacamaya119]

Did you catch the guy at the juice place saying "Yaba Daba Doo!!!??😅

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I didn't at the time, but realized it while editing. Pretty funny.

[@angelg.8462]

Yesss!😆😅😂😆

[@EdMontego]

The Mountain formations look great, a bit like in Moab utah

[@abbodalghamdi9164]

very beautiful

[@Astral-Adventures]

Nice filming and documenting. I am traveling through turkey Right now about to hike the entire 500km of Lycian way. These videos of Turkey that youve made are very helpful. Im in Bodrum now on my way to Fethiye. Hopefully one day we cross paths

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Amazing, I've wanted to do the Lycian way trek. I went to the start of the trek at Kabak in December 2009. Also I was in the area a few years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKbCh5yjnbFmnbM Have an amazing hike.

[@Astral-Adventures]

@@GabrielTravelerVideosAwesome, ill definately watch that video you recomened. Youve also inspired me to make a few videos along the way, ill definatley do some recording along the way as well, Thank you for the work you do, its great to watch.

[@aliasghar907]

good job buddy..

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks.

[@theadventuresofbrockinthai4325]

HEY GABRIEL, THAT WAS WONDERFUL. TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH A HOME THAT IS 2000 YEARS OLD. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CITY THAT MUST HAVE BEEN AT THE TIME OF CHRIST. YOU KNOW I WAS JUST THINKING THE OTHER DAY HOW WONDERFUL IT IS FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO BE ABLE TO WALK DOWN A ROAD THAT IS OVER 2000 YEARS OLD. TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO TOUCH HISTORY. THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE, IT'S JUST THEIR HOUSE AND THE ROAD IS JUST THE ROAD TO THE MARKET. THE SIMPLE FACT THAT IT IS JUST WHERE THEY HAPPEN TO CALL HOME. LOL ISN'T LIFE WONDERFUL. HAPPY TRAILS MY FRIEND.

[@happypenny4433]

Thanks for sharing.😍😍😍😍

[@Silk-hj5jm]

I was wondering what this was too: 11:28. Anyone know what this is? Is it a dining table?

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Such an amazing place, thank you so much for showing us around the non touristy places, we get to experience a real feel for what it’s like there. Have you ever been or heard of the Trulli houses in Alberobello, Puglia Italy? Not on the same scale as here but I’m sure you would be fascinated walking around there also if you are ever around the area 😁

[@emircanerkul]

Thank you!

[@flashgordon8792]

Question: Would you be able to camp out in one of those caves or is it illegal?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Not sure if it's legal but I'm sure you could get away with it. No one is patrolling those areas and I doubt anyone would care anyway. People lived in them for thousands of years already so no harm done.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

@siniša tkalčić Yes, and I agree: kzbin.infosearch?query=Petra

[@tetekofa]

Amazing.

[@travelandtash]

Awesome intro, Gabe. Love it.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks.

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

Very nice

[@salmansengul]

Now I can see why you are traveling the world! Must be the housing prices in San Francisco! 😂

[@theduden]

24:50 I guess this area is now owned by private individuals? How lucky they are to have so much history under their control. Glad they are protecting and maintaining it, otherwise it would have been a shame.

[@pop-n-rock]

yes, greek history.

[@skiaddict08]

Lucky dude!

[@woodwoman9130]

Wow

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

Were they poured constructions or carved from existing rock

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Carved from existing rock.

[@superlameusername362]

What an HD remake.

Where did you buy that elephant shirt? Just curious because I have one just like that. Haha

I got it in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Nice one Gabby

It seems that all the travel vloggers are at this place now...🤣

[@ChristianParkesArt]

Gabe beat them to it by ten years though!!

[@sandratessem9980]

Great video

[@mgoksoy]

As a turkish citizen I apologize for the "tourist prices". I don't know how the situation is in similar tourist receiving countries.

[@duffysullivan2794]

So Gabe is from Frisco. He is a homeboy, lol. I grew up in Parkmerced. I read in the comments in another video that Gabe was Canadian. But he could be from anywhere around the San Francisco bay area. Marin, the Peninsula, East Bay. Traveling internationally a person would say they were from San Francisco. You wouldn't say I am from San Carlos, or Richmond, or Sausalito. No one would know where you were talking about!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

My parents were from LA originally, moved to Canada, I was born there, we moved back to LA when I was 1, moved up north to Willits in Mendocino County, I was raised there, then moved down to the Bay Area when I was a teenager and I graduated from Berkeley High School. That's the very short version of my life from 0 to 18.

[@duffysullivan2794]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos My dad was from San Fransisco, my mom from Oakland. Grew up in Parkmerced until I was 10, then in 1958 we moved to Hillsborough. Was not a big place though, a ranch rambler up near Skyline blvd. and the Crystal Springs game refuge. Graduated Burlingame high 1966. Living in Seattle now, since 1990. Like it up here.

[@Torrie97400]

Hello very nice video. How to travel to cappadocia from Istanbul ?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Fly, bus or drive.

[@subashbose1011]

Hey greetings from India

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Hey greetings from Oregon.

[@digarcia1890]

Fascinating! I noticed in your 2009 trip there were so many hot air balloons. Do they not allow that now?

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

The balloons are still happening, the sunrise scene with the balloons at 1:36 was filmed when I was there recently.

[@Strider3671]

They would put the gods that protected their home on those shelf’s.

[@allon33]

They say if you do something for 10,000 hours, you become a master.

[@Tch5802]

All but certain that the mural of the Last Supper was defaced for anti-Christian motives. The hostilities between Turks and Greeks have at times been amazingly bitter.

[@louisebentley4886]

Quite frequently the murals were defaced by people of Christian faith. The paint used to depict Christ or a Saint was considered a desirable ingredient in many 'cures' for illness.

[@Did447]

Seems like you can easily get lost there...Like death Valley kind of style 🤔

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Definitely possible to get lost. But a lot more roads and buildings, so you wouldn't have to go too far before you came across civilization.

[@robcanad]

How coincidental!! I just booked my flight from Istanbul to there a couple minutes ago, flight leaves in less than 12 hours!!

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Gabriel, to YOU it is the most fascinating place on Earth, so ... isn't this all that matters? :D

He’s not saying that as a matter of fact dummy. But I guess you wouldn’t get it

Why are almost all the faces destroyed on the murals? Such a shame they are beautiful!

[@costitravel]

Amazing video from Cappadocia ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍺

[@_____J______]

Last supper painted there because Christianity was there first before Islam... Probably Turks will think I am talking blasphemy

[@TheMuslimBatman]

Turks understand their history well, if you didn’t know, the ottoman Turks actually had very high tolerance for Christians in the regions and most of them earned political positions and good wealth, more than Turks at times, I think you might a little ignorant when it comes to cultures which you refuse to believe have more decency than some of the leaders of today’s society. Turks weren’t always Islamic either, they know this, it is only people like you who are oblivious to history and it’s peoples. If Turks refuse to believe that christians were there first, then why have they not destroyed any and all evidence of Christianity in the regions of Anatolia? Think about that for a minute. Turks inhabited Anatolia about a thousand years ago yet there are still churches, altars, mosaics, paintings to go and see, I’d reconsider your statement sir. Go visit turkey some time and stop being so ignorant.

[@aokiaoki4238]

Turks are Turks

[@pop-n-rock]

@@TheMuslimBatman The Greeks has to pay high taxes to mainatin their religion to the conquerors,otherwise no such thing was allowed. My ancestors were from Cappadokia, they were wealthy so I know pretty well what I am talking about.

[@TheMuslimBatman]

pop if you didn’t know, the Christians at the time had to pay more taxes at the time for the fact that it was compensation for not being drafted into war, as the Ottoman Empire just say, would draft 1 boy from almost every Muslim household into war, though the Christians in the Ottoman Empire were excluded from this, so another way they could help the empire that protected their lands was to pay in compensation. Now tell me would you rather be forced into war, or have your son forced into war, or pay just a bit more taxes??? Now tell me who had it better off.

[@pop-n-rock]

@@TheMuslimBatman you had to pay a tax in time of peace or in time of war, ALWAYS. Othewise you were being forced to become muslim. If you didn't pay tax or become muslim, punishment was and is still torture and death. It still exists and it is known as ''protection tax''. My grantparents are now shaking in the grave for such history distortion you are making. You are a muslim, you should know better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haClnYV7h9mKepY Now tell me, do you think that back at the day there we ''different types of muslims''? Now tell me wheren't they all radical?? Give me a break!
