Il miglior viaggio di compleanno in Cappadocia Turchia.

Monte Hasan insieme ad mio amico Resul !

Dalla città di Aksaray, il vulcano Hasan si vede benissimo, stagliandosi all'orizzonte alto ed innevato. Bella visione, solitaria e maestosa con i suoi 3.268 metri, i suoi due crateri e i boschi che lo ricoprono fino a metà. Bello !

La Cappadocia è semplicemente un sogno e le cose da vedere sono incredibili. Me l’aspettavo eh, ma non così. È sfacciatamente bella e offre una quantità di paesaggi e di attrattive assolutamente imbarazzanti. Mi aspettavo di restare estasiata davanti ai camini delle fate della valle di Goreme, ma non sapevo che avrei visto un vero e proprio museo a cielo aperto, delle antichissime città sotterranee, canyon dai colori incredibili, e chiese rupestri con degli affreschi pazzeschi. Al di là delle attrattive della natura infatti, gli uomini hanno realizzato in queste zone delle opere davvero uniche che lasciano senza fiato. A seconda poi del momento della giornata la terra e le rocce della Cappadocia assumono colori diversi, dal rosa pallido dell’alba, al bianco del giorno, al giallo/ocra del tramonto ed è tutto semplicemente magnifico. Le cose da vedere in Cappadocia sono tante e il consiglio che mi sento di darvi è quello di dedicare alla Cappadocia almeno 5 giorni, il tempo minimo secondo me per poter vedere tutte le attrattive principali senza correre, godendosi questi magnifici paesaggi (io l’ho visitata come parte di un viaggio più lungo, di 18 giorni, attraverso la Turchia).

Love Valley, la Valle dell’Amore!

La Valle dell’Amore è un luogo davvero affascinante da vedere in Cappadocia. Si trova nei pressi di Goreme. Una delle particolarità di questa vale sono le forme dei camini delle fate che, scolpiti nei secoli dai venti e le acque, creano un paesaggio unico.

Durante la fioritura, i campi di papaveri aggiungono un tocco di colore e magia a questo luogo già incantevole. La Valle dell’Amore è il luogo ideale per una passeggiata romantica o per ammirare un’indimenticabile alba o tramonto.

Valle di Ihlara – magnifico canyon da vedere in Cappadocia

La suggestiva valle di Ihlara è un magnifico canyon, con una profondità di circa 100 metri, scavato dal fiume Melendiz migliaia di anni fa. Questo spettacolare paesaggio inizia nel pittoresco villaggio di Ihlara e si conclude presso il monastero di Selime, nel suggestivo villaggio omonimo, per un totale di 14 chilometri di straordinaria bellezza naturale.Ciò che rende la valle di Ihlara ancora più affascinante è il fatto che era un tempo abitata da migliaia di persone, che costruirono più di quattromila case e un centinaio di chiese rupestri decorate con splendidi affreschi.

Castello di Uçhisar

Un’altra tappa obbligatoria da vedere in Cappadocia è il Castello di Uçhisar, situato su una collina panoramica. Questa fortezza naturale è la vetta più alta della regione ed offre una vista spettacolare sulla Cappadocia e sui suoi dintorni.

È possibile esplorare le numerose grotte e stanze all’interno del castello, che venivano utilizzate come abitazioni nel corso dei secoli, oppure salire in cima e ammirare l’incantevole paesaggio circostante. Per raggiungere la cima si dovranno salire 120 gradini vertiginosi. Ma i panorami ne valgono la pena e si riesce a intravedere anche il vulcano Erciyes.

Avanos è situato sulle rive del Kizilirmak, il fiume Rosso, che prende il nome dall'argilla che deposita. Questa argilla ha fornito ad Avanos terracotta per secoli e la città è ancora dominata da questa industria, nonostante gli ostacoli che il turismo ha fatto nella zona. La strada principale ha numerosi negozi e officine che vendono vasi e piatti semplici e decorati e si può guardare gli artisti al lavoro usando le ruote dentate, il cui il disegno è rimasto invariato per generazioni in questa forma d'arte. Molti seminari vi incoraggeranno a provare, il che è più difficile di quanto sembra.

Avanos è una possibile base per esplorare la Cappadocia con alloggi e servizi disponibili a prezzi ragionevoli. La città ha conservato parte del suo fascino ed è un luogo piacevole dove uno può trascorrere mezza giornata o fermarsi a pranzo. La città ha un Hammam (bagno turco) che è popolare tra i gruppi di turisti. Nelle vicinanze c'è anche il caravanserraglio di Saruhan costruito dai Selgiuchidi, un Han (stazione di servizio dei viaggiatori) restaurato, e la città sotterranea di Özkonak, una versione più piccola di quelle a Derinkuyu e Kaymakli. Durante i mesi estivi vengono organizzate attività acquatiche o intrattenimenti sul fiume Kizilirmak, come godersi per esempio un giro con gondole di stile veneziano o motoscafi.

Il mio compleanno il 21 settembre..per a festeggiare volevo essere in Cappadocia per poter realizzare il sogno della mia vita. È stato meraviglioso anche se la mia famiglia e i miei amici non erano con me, a volte andiamo a avanti per stare da soli... ma ringrazio Dio per aver alleviato il mio dolore.

Vorrei ringraziarvi per la mia dolcissima torta della pasticceria “Palmiye di Ali” della bellissima città Aksaray.

Ho trascorso una bella vacanza, ho conosciuto e fatto nuove amicizie. In ogni viaggio in qualsiasi parte del mondo, mi piace fare amicizia e rimanere in contatto con loro. Amo viaggiare, conoscere le tradizioni di ogni paese, poter cambiare la cultura, ascoltare le preghiere di ogni religione, ascoltare le persone con cui faccio amicizia!

La vita di tutti ci offre tante belle cose !Elena Rodica Rotaru
