Source text - English [...]Another area to well explore is the Göreme Open Air Museum which is presently a UNESCO World Heritage site. Honeycombed hillsides contain countless living quarters with windows and doors embedded in the rock facades. More than 30 churches with magnificent frescoes can be viewed simply by walking on the path of the canyon floor.
Exploring Cappadocia can also be accomplished by hot air balloon. Each morning at dawn, balloon operators collect their clients from the surrounding hotels and guest houses and travel to a central location. On the morning of my adventure, there were more than a dozen balloons ready to be launched. Everywhere I looked; groups of men were rolling out the balloons and filling them with hot air produced by gas burners. It was still early and the bright fires not only warmed the chilly morning atmosphere but lit up the dark sky. Once on board, my camera clicked away. Gradually, the skies brightened as we became air-borne high above the sights we had walked over the previous day. What a fantastic bird’s eye view one can get from high over Cappadocia. As we sailed over this enchanted land of “fairy chimneys” and bee-hive homes, I was thankful for being so fortunate to see this strange but mystifying place that will keep anthropologists and archaeologists occupied for many decades. On previous visits, I have found Turkey to have an abundance of archaeological treasures that continue to offer up fascinating experiences for the adventure traveler and tourist alike; however, on this one particular and specific occasion, Cappadocia was certainly the highlight for me.
Translation - Swedish [...]Ett annat område som är väl värt ett besök är Göreme Open Air Museum, som är klassat som världsarv av UNESCO. Inbäddade i Bergsväggar finns oändligt med boendeplatser utan varken fönster eller dörrar. Fler än 30 kyrkor med fantasiska fresker kan ses om man går längs dalsvackan.
Cappadocia kan också utforskas från luftballong. Varje morgon i gryningen hämtar funktionärer dem som är intresserade på deras hotell eller gästhus, för att sedan åka till en samlingspunkt. På morgonen av dagen för mitt äventyr fanns där fler än ett dussin luftballonger redo att lyfta. Var man än såg höll man på att rulla ut balongerna och fylla dem med varmluft med hjälp av varmluft ifrån gasbrännarna. Det var fortfarande tidigt och ljusa eldar inte bara värmde den kyliga morgonluften utan lyste även upp den mörka himlen. När vi väl gått ombord satte jag igång att ta foton. Så småningom ljusnade skyarna, som vi steg högt över de områden vi gått i dagen innan. När vi seglade över detta förtrollade land med dess "förtrollade skorstenar" och bikupe-hem var jag tacksam över att få se detta märkliga och förtrollade ställe som kommer att hålla antropologer och arkeologer upptagna i årtionden. Vid tidigare besök hade jag fått intrycket att Turkiet hade et överflöd of arkeologiska skatter som erbjöd fascinerande erfarenheter för både den äventyrsresande och turisten, men just vi det här tillfället tyckte jag ändå att Cappadoccia smällde högre än de andra platserna
