Capadocia, the famed “fairy chimneys” and cave houses draw lagr numers of tourists to the middle of Turkey. They have also been visiting the mineral rich terraces of Pamukkale and the ancient city of Hierapolis since Jesus was a long haired trouble maker.

Hierapolis was a city of 50,000 people 60 years before Jesus was born. The Greco-Roman ruins are too often ignored by the Insta-tragics who come just for the Likes.

Capadocia swarms with tourists in the warmer months. A blizzard hit when we were there. It was deserted.

The so-called fairy chimneys have been used as houses foreternity. There are also undergound caverns and churches nearby, where believers fled from persecution.
