Best spot for Cappadocia
#naturalbeauty
When i planned the trip to Cappadocia. There was the question of where to be put up. Gerome came across as a popular option and more affordable, since it has more tourists. But upon arriving and spending a night in Gerome. I realised it was all a little too touristy. So along with a friend we decided to try Uchisar.
While Uchisar requires certain arrangements like your transport and be prepared to have less restaurants etc. But right from the first moment we arrived. The quiet and peace worked for us. Now with experience i can tell that there are some spectacular views possible from Uchisar. You could climb and explore the Uchisar castle. But wait till the morning and then the sunrise view of Cappadocia will blow your mind. The landscape too is very fascinating.

Amazing food and wine with a view
If you are in Uchisar, don’t forget to book a ride to this amazing restaurant overlooking the valleys in Goreme. They make traditional and authentic tagine that you can witness the waiter breaking the clay pot and unveiling the spice infused and juicy meat stew! It was a mouthwatering moment for me!

Be sure to make reservations as this restaurant gets filled up pretty quickly! #turkey #cappadocia #uchisar #millocalrestaurant
Sitting on a hot air balloon and watching a hot air balloon on the ground is a completely different experience. It is a bystander and an experiencer.
Watching a hot air balloon is more capable of taking a different view, so that we catch up at 4 o'clock in three consecutive days. Watch the hot air balloon.
Five days and four nights of contact, from the hot air balloon at 5:30 in the morning to the pink sunset in the evening, every day is a new adventure, always sighing, how can Cappadocia be so beautiful. A friend said: Sitting on a hot air balloon and watching a hot air balloon on land is a different experience. When you come to Goreme, take a hot air balloon and catch a hot air balloon.
View the views of the hot air balloon, one is the observation deck on the top of the town, the other is the observation deck near the Rose Valley in Rose Valley, and the open space near the open-air museum is a hot air balloon rise The distribution center, but need to travel by car.
