My partner and I just returned from the most magical trip to Cappadocia, and it truly felt like stepping into a dream! 💕 The landscape is out of this world with its fairy chimneys, cave dwellings, and those stunning rock formations. We started our mornings with a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, which is absolutely a must-do! 🌅 Watching dozens of colorful balloons drift over the valleys and into the sky was so surreal. It cost about $150 per person, but the experience was worth every penny. The view from up there with the sun lighting up the horizon was just breathtaking! 🎈
We stayed in one of those famous cave hotels in Göreme, which was such a unique experience. The rooms were cozy and cool, and waking up to the view of balloons right outside our window was incredible! 🏨 During the day, we explored the Göreme Open-Air Museum, where we saw ancient rock-cut churches with beautiful frescoes. The entrance fee was around 150 Turkish Lira, which was quite reasonable for the history and art we got to see. After that, we took a hike through Love Valley, which was perfect for some quiet time surrounded by nature and those iconic fairy chimneys.
For dinner, we went to a traditional Turkish restaurant and tried the local specialty, testi kebab, which is cooked in a clay pot – so delicious! 🍲 The people were warm and welcoming, and the food was amazing everywhere we went. Cappadocia’s magic truly comes alive at night, with the towns lit up and the stars above. 🌌
This trip was full of unforgettable moments, and Cappadocia is definitely a place that feels like it's been pulled straight from a fairytale. Perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway! 💑
