Secret Hideaway in Capadoccia

We spent 3 days in Göreme, a magical small town that caters purely to tourists. It takes a while to get here (11-hour bus ride from Istanbul, 5 hours from Ankara). It is full of oddly shaped stone hills into which homes & churches are built. We went to the Open Air Museum on day 2 in Göreme, which is filled with Byzantine (5 century) churches depicting biblıcal stories. We stayed at the Elifstar Cave Hotel, which means that our room is dug out of the side of a hill. The scenery is both serene & breathtaking. During our last few days, we got pretty ill (probably from the water or the food), and I spent an entire day incapacitated in bed. On our last evening, we took a guided sunset tour on an ATV. It was SO exciting - definitely the best part of Göreme.
