Walking on the moon, Kapadokya

When i arrived in Kapadokya early in the morning i felt like i was in another world. That's the real feeling when you see the landscape, actually everything is surreal, i can say a moonscape.
Let me just tell you that George Lucas, decide to use this landscape for Episod I of Star Wars.
Even the meaning of the name is magic: Land of beautiful horses.
This region in the centre of Turkey born with a volcanic eruption, and the wind and the extremes temperature created these beautiful shapes.






The first day we arrived, after a long ride the man of the hotel suggest us to make a tour, actually Kapadokya is a big region, and all the main place aren't close each other, so we thought was the right decion! WRONG! First the tour lasts less of they told us, they will bring you to the main places and you have a short time, well is true that you have a good lunch, but usually i hate to follow a guide so i couldn't really enjoy it. But fortunately some guys suggest us to rent a scooter, and is not expensive as the guide said! All day around 20 euro.
We had a map and in one day we visited almost all the important area. Moving with a scooter we found many secret places where usually tourist don't go, and the freedom sensation of the real travel was the main feeling!
