A winter fairy tale of Cappadocia
In our last post we already touched a little bit on the magical region of Cappadocia, focusing on the small but very popular town of Göreme. Today we want to tell you more about this place, especially about its winter side. After all, Cappadocia in winter is not just a tourist region, but a real snowy fairy tale!
Gereme in winter looks like a legend: snow-covered rocks, chimneys covered with fluffy snow and houses, as if created for illustrations of magic books. Walking around the city, it seems that time slows down and every corner is immersed in tranquility.
What to see in winter in Gereme:
- Göreme Open Air Museum - temples and monasteries carved right into the cliffs take on a special atmosphere of silence and ancient history in winter.
- Love Valley and other valleys - the contrast of snow cover with orange cliffs makes these places unique for photos.
- Thermal springs - after walking in the cold, a dip in the hot springs becomes a real pleasure.
Hot air ballooning: winter adds charm
Yes, balloons fly in Cappadocia all year round! But winter flights are something special: foggy mornings, snowy peaks and crystal clear air create a picture you'll never forget.
Take a horseback ride through the snow-covered valleys. Try winter Turkish cuisine - warming soups and spicy dishes create an atmosphere of homely warmth. Visit ancient underground cities (such as Derinkuyu), which are perfect for winter excursions due to the stable temperature inside.
Winter Cappadocia is your chance to see a place written about in legends in a different light. If in summer it is crowded with tourists, in winter you can experience the special silence and magic of the region. So if you are planning a trip to Turkey, don't miss the chance to see Göreme in its winter magic!
