29/8/19 Askehir to Cappadocia

Another 350km of driving today.  But the roads are superb.  Dual lane highways everywhere.

We checked out the Seratli Kirkgoz underground city where people lived during the Roman period.  Active volcanoes thousands of years ago coated the area in lava and ash forming soft layers in the rock which were then carved out to build the cities. 

This one was 7 stories high, with 40 chambers.  The bottom ones were where they kept the animals. 

They had a sophisticated ventilation system.

Wells

And loads of security doors

And here's sultan Dermot

We've found a really nice place to stay in Cappadocia run by a Turkish Australian - Osmanli Manor
