We went for hikes through fairy chimneys. The fairy chimneys are rock formations that stick up like big cones. In the fairy chimneys there used to be people living in them. The first day we went for a hike we went through two valleys. The two valleys are called Rose Valley and Red Valley. They are called that because they have the colour pink on the mountains. See...!
The second day in Cappadocia we went for a tour of the underground city. In the underground city 20,000 people used to live there too.
People lived in the sturdy chimneys and the underground city because they were early Christians and Christianity was not always accepted. They even built churches into the rocks. One of the churches built into the rock in the open air museum was really neat with a cool design on the ceiling.
The third day we went for a 12 km hike. We went through tons and tons of fairy chimneys. Here are some more pictures...
