Cappadocia: Strangest Place I've Ever Been
A number of years ago, I went on two business trips to Turkey. One weekend I left Ankara for a sightseeing jaunt to visit the underground cities located in Cappadocia. It has to stand as one of the most unusual if not striking places I've ever visited.
You might google "Cappadocia" to view the pictures if you're intrigued enough. My words sure can't do it enough justice. It's like a Marscape. The place left enough of an impression on me to set one of my PI Frank Johnson titles, Troglodytes there.
I'm a bit claustrophobic so being stooped over to scrabble down the tunnels and corridors chiseled into the underground stone left me a little queasy. (Frank doesn't enjoy the experience either.) That said, I loved Cappadocia. It has a marvelous beauty leaving you speechless and breathless. It has to qualify as one of Turkey's--no, make that the world's--jewels.
