Cappadocia
offers the country's best natural sight, a fantasy land of phallic
pinnacles clustered around flat rural scenery. Stay in Goreme if possible,
though avoid the poor value and condition fairy chimney rooms. They
tend to be cramped, dark and uncomfortable. It's better to find a
room with a big view of the pinnacles.
Walking here is superb though you will be limited in range. Alternatively
rent a scooter or mountain bike if you're capable, otherwise a car
for leisurely cruising around the bizzare surroundings, so take your
licence with you.
Buses with guides are informative but naturally keep on moving, so
don't bother with them, this is a landscape that demands that you
wander about, find your favourite view, settle down with a bottle
of raki and watch the rocks grow. There are nice little restaurants
in Goreme too.
And by the way, on a geological note, the hard stone caps on the pinnacles
protected them while rains eroded the surrounding softer rockaround,
leaving the the pointy bits behind.
