We decided to spend our first day exploring the area with a guided tour. There were 12 of us in our van including people from Korea, Japan, Switzerland, and Malaysia.
This area is famous for many rock formations that have been converted into dwellings.
Our first main stop was at these underground cities that were used for hiding during war times. There were 8 different levels with various underground passages to get to the different rooms. The structures were interesting because they were engineered around the air shafts that spanned down to the bottom level.
Then we had a nice stroll through a canyon with a nice lunch at the end of our walk.
My favorite stop along the way was the Selime Cathedral. It was a large rock that had at one time been used for dwellings. I was like a kid in a candy shop climbing around exploring all the different areas and taking pictures of the beautiful views.
It was great to see so many cool sights and meet fun people on the tour. I do miss moving around on my own timeline.
Maybe tomorrow we will hike or rent bikes to continue exploring.
My phone is now cooperating better now that I could get online and sign out of Facebook. Thanks for that tip, Lo. I realized I hadn't done that yet.
