One week trip to Istanbul and Cappadocia. In the capital we enjoy the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace or Grand Bazaar, among others. We enjoy the curious formations of the Cappadocia, its underground villages or the churches of the Goreme valley.
During the first day in Istanbul we will visit the tourist attractions furthest from the historic center, such as the Dolmabahçe Palace and the Beylerbeyi Palace, to finish at Galata and the Grand Bazaar.
In the outgoing circuit with bus towards Ankara we passed near the Valens Aqueduct. After eating in the Turkish capital we will visit the Mausoleum of Atatürk (Anit Kabir). We slept in Cappadocia.
The Zelve open-air Museum occupies three valleys where had been excavated hundreds of homes, churches and tunnels. A lot of their churches were decorated during the iconoclastic era.
"Fairy Chimneys" is one of the most typical pictures of Cappadocia because in this valley are located the volcanic cones most shapely and original in form and number of the entire region.
