We have been living like troglodytes in a cave hotel and today (Monday) has been spent on the tour exploring the subterranean heritage of the Cappadoccian region. The early Christians fled persecution in underground cities and we explored part of the maze of underground tunnels and rooms in one of these cities. We ate lunch in an underground restaurant and visited an array chapels built into the hillside at the Gorrem Open Air Museum. Above ground it was taking in spectacular vistas of the unique fairy chimney rock formations. The tour also managed to fit in inspections local handcraft production: pottery, carpets and jewellery.
