When you come to Cappadocia, you must experience a hot air balloon. Sometimes it is not something you can sit in. It depends on the weather and wind. You can fly only if you have the conditions. The flight was very stable and everyone was very excited. Waiting for the sunrise to rise, the pilot gradually increased the altitude and changed the angle so that everyone in the basket could see the scenery from all angles. There were more and more hot air balloons in the sky. Spectacular, the pilots are constantly introducing the scenery below, changing the angle, adjusting the height, and the technology is superb. Our hot air balloon wipes some fairy chimneys and stimulates the wonderful experience.
The magical combination of religion and natural wonders, must-see attractions in Cappadocia
You can see mountains with hollowed out windows everywhere. You can imagine how many Christians lived here at that time. It can be said that faith is invincible. I really admire these missionaries who live for their faith. The earth-hewn churches are very decently built. Although the exterior is simple, the interior is not uncomfortable at that time. There are a lot of round vaults, shrines, stone pillars, and outer walls. There are suggestions for carving and painting.
What impressed me the most was a cave church that required an extra fee to visit. The exquisite murals inside were significantly higher than other caves by more than one grade. The believers used vivid paintbrushes to depict scenes of Jesus' birth and crucifixion, and even The performance of the "Last Supper". very beautiful!
