Cappadocia is a strange region, created by vulcanoes and erosion, with beautiful sights. Note that I have clustered pictures of Göreme and other major sights in separate galleries (with their names in bold text), so clicking on the first pictures will open new galleries.

KAPADOKYA

Kapadokya, volkan ve erozyonların yarattığı güzel manzaralarıyla, farklı bir bölge. Göreme ve diğer önemli yerlerin resimlerini ayrı galerilerde gruplandırdım (adları kalın yazılı), yani ilk resimlere bastığınızda yeni galeriler açılacak.

Among Cavusin elementary school students, how come there were no girls? Wasn't Elementary school education compulsory for all, so illiteracy keeping masses below poverty line can be combated. This was one promise the Founding Father of Turkey offered us, enlightened minds would lead to a socially just, peaceful home. Peace at home would offer peace to the world. Like so many places in the Middle East, Cappadocia is one corner that interleaves the power of nature and thousand years of human history in turmoil. So many civilizations came and went leaving their traces on the land. Now I see the responsibility of protection falling on to the current inheritors of this rich history and incredible beauty. Just scanning the comments I am touched by seeing how many people had personally history connecting them to the region. It feels like uncovering tangible links of a chain that connects us humanity. Thank you Osseman for reflecting to us that we are All One, when we are not blinded by our differences or by our nationalistic pride.

I was wondering the same: My Mother is a Cappadocia and her parents are from Italy. Is it documented somewhere that the "Cappadocias" did flea from Cappadocia to Italy? I am presently in canada as well.

Guest		24-Jul-2008 23:01
I am a Cappadocia. I live in Canada but my father was born in Italy. Is it possible that at some point his family were originally from Cappadocia in Greece and fled to Italy?

We used to visit Cappadocia in the early 1950s and THAT was the time to see it: unspoiled and natural. Should have been preserved as a "world treasure" site by Unesco instead of ruined by humans in search of something different. Fernande

Dick, these photos from Cappadocia amaze me. This is my dream since I first heard about and watched this region on TV, but didn't have a chance to go yet. Still in my dreams. Thank you for sharing the beauty, fabulous shapes and colors, the unique sceneries and atmosphere. Will be back here for sure and many times. Jola

My husband & I returned from a tour of Turkey 3 weeks ago. One of our favorite places is Cappadocia, an area I'd wanted to visit for some time. My husband took a hot air balloon (wish I had) ride & got some great photos. One must visit this area while in Turkey. It's a mistake to miss it. The experience will be with us for a very long time. We traveled from Istanbul to Adana & Urfa, to Antalya, the Turquoise Coast on a gulet & back to Istanbul. Wonderful trip! Iris Wutzke

Dick, your galleries just get better and better and certainly there is nothing more comprehensive than what you're doing. Some -very- beautiful images from a beautiful country I'm glad you're instrumental in bringing to the attention of the rest of the world. This was something requested by the warm Turkish people we met while there, and no one on the Net is doing that as well as you. This set of galleries is an incredible boon. With regard to Cappadocia hot air balloons, that is ONE thing I did do that you haven't, although I will have no chance to return to Turkey so will have to depend on you and others for updates. If interested in photos from a balloon I rode over Cappadocia, that's at my http://www.pbase.com/andrys/cappballoon (video also) or just click on my name.

We had the goos fortune to visit urgup in the last week of April this year.i would have really regretted all my life if i hadnt gone there. on the whole the experience was too good. i even tried my hand at doing some pottery at Avanos. your pictures are very good.

I am very proud of you (dick osseman). I think you have accomplished a very hard and beatiful thing. Many people want to do something like that, but these people don't that because of their laziness. You are number one. Thanks you for your interest in Turkey and contributions to introductin (presantation) of Turkey.

Dick Osseman		30-Mar-2006 18:06
Unless someone is willing to pay for the balloon those pictures will remain missing. Does anybody realise this work is done by just me, a lone amateur photographer, not a tourist organisation? I have to finance it all by myself (and I am not very fond of the things many tourists do, you won't see me hanging under a glider behind a fast motorboat at Antalya either.... The horror...

Halis		30-Mar-2006 14:49
It has lovely pictures of Cappadocia region, but balloon photos are missing in the album. Have a look from the link below to see some hot air balloon pictures. Cappadocia Ez Air Balloons
