Context

Our verdict

Cappadocia, in central Anatolia (Turkey): unique geological landscapes ("fairy chimneys", volcanic tuffs sculpted by erosion), UNESCO troglodyte cities. July is my favourite month (9.6/10): 15-30°C, 3% rain, ideal temperatures, clear sky for the hot air balloon flights at sunrise (the iconic experience, 150-300€/person).
