I have a dream of flying in the air with my hands wide opened while the cool breeze be touching my body tenderly and the rising sun be in front of my eyes spreading the hues of colors on the sky,; and all this be happening with my partner standing behind me wrapping his arms around my waist.
Is there any place that can make my dream come true? 🤔. Yes, there is a place called Cappadocia (a city of Turkey) that can give me the very experience I dream for. Cappadocia is famous for its hot air balloons travel. Floating above the historical caves while the sunshine giving them the appearance of gold would be so fascinating an experience.
Flying in the hot air balloons of Cappadocia is the first reason for which I would love to visit the place. Nevertheless , it is not the last. There are many other reasons that raise my desire and curiosity to see the place in real.
Cappadocia is a combo of man's and nature's architectural aesthetics. Nature provided the stones, rocks and caves of different types and shapes while man utilized them to construct well-organized houses in it. I would like to touch those rocks and appreciate its beauty.
Not only the caves are carved well but we can see all the present day facilities in the cave houses.
Some of them are modified to become hotels. I would love to spend the nights in this combo of old and modern times. It would be so different an experience accurately fitting at the definition of “exotic.”
Just like the sunrise, the sunset of Cappadocia is also famous, especially at the red valley where the stones turn red at the time of sun set. Such an amazing view of nature where the stones appear like frozen lava would be breathtaking.
In Cappadocia, there is a valley named as “Love valley”. The reason for its name is the shape of rocks there. They take after the shape of penis. It is one of the most unique tourist attraction of the city.
Cappadocia is amazing with regard to the shapes and structure of rocks. There is another valley where the shapes of rocks resemble the shapes of various animals. It is named as Devrent Valley.
Another exotically amazing entity found in Cappadocia are fairy chimneys. Often a rock settles above chimney balancing it self against storms and winds. Here the rocks settle over one another with spaces in between in a way that it gives the place an appearance of multi-floor building
Cappadocia is not completely a place of sand, stones and rocks, but it also carries a green and wet land within it. That part of land is called Ihlara Valley. I would love to sit beside the Ihlara river dipping my legs in the water and enjoying the eternal peace of the nature
The beauty and amazement of Cappadocia do not end here. The place has a lot more to offer such as its open air museums, carpet caves, camel and horse riding, castle and many other valleys. The long story cut short, Cappadocia is a place keeping in it a whole lot of wonderful and epic features. It a place that would increase my love for nature's amazingness . Above all, it would give me a long desired romantic flight with my partner in a hot air balloon.
