We had a lazy day today - slept in, sat on the terrace over looking the city, and continued to plan the last of our countries. Only left to hit the ATM and for dinner.
We’ve found a restaurant we like here VERY much and have gone back 3 of our 4 nights. A waiter has adopted us and treated us like gold. Gave us free Turkish Pomegranate tea every night. (which by the way, is awesome). Tonight he suggested we order pottery kebabs, the food of Cappadocia - so we did. It comes flaming to the table. Basically just a really tender pot roast. At the end of dinner, he came over and sat down with us for about 20 min. Learned all about him and his life (Immigrant from Afghanistan). I was kind of shocked, but it was really nice talking and learning about his life and culture. He may have been possibly interested in dating Jordan. 😃
We’ve felt very safe here in Göreme, but the roads are something else. The whole city is torn apart and cars are constantly just spinning their wheels in the gravel trying to get up the hills. It’s very interesting, and at times looks war torn.Read more
TravelerDo they get much rain?? What kind of seasons do they get. This is one of the most interesting places you've been to.
Christie MitchellIt really is!! I wish I would have been more prepared - I could have done more. “Cappadocia’s is a dry climate, do not expect much humidity. Look for some winds in the spring and some fog in the late fall. Rain in the summer is a rarity but not uncommon in the fall and spring with a few snowfalls each winter. The hot air balloons fly up to 330 days per year!” Think high desert - very little rain, cool in the evenings and hit during the day. Quite cold in winter. Generally.
Christie MitchellWe got beef. Could have had chicken or lamb. A lot like a pot roast but smaller chunks. They rely on meat and root vegetables here, which makes sense. Limited beef - mostly raise sheep/goats/chickens.
