Soganli is a fascinating out of the way village at the edge of Cappadocia with house caves where people were just moved out of their caves by the government in the last 10 years to live in a small development with electricity and plumbing. It was beautiful, but it is at the bottom of a huge crater, and it was almost dark when we were there. The photos don't do it justice.

We passed through the other places on the way to Urfa. Antakya had a wonderful mosaic museum, which our guide got us into even though it was closed on Monday, but no flash photos allowed and none of mine turned out. Same with mosaic museum at Gaziantep, where the mosaics were rescued from Daphne, a retreat for rich Romans which is now covered by the Ataturk dam.
