Travelled through the Cappadocia region to the Village of Belisirma (where the women wore amazing pants!). The group explored the incredible underground city of Derinkuyu where the whole town lived when under seige…kitchens, chapel, school, food storage and stables, water supply, hospital and morgue, it was all there…absolutely amazing. We hiked through the Valley of Ilhara following the Melendiz River passing caves and Byzantine cave chapels with biblical frescoes.Called in to a Caravanserai which were the ‘hotels’ for travellers and traders on the old silk routes  We arrived in the city of Konya and dined near the Mosque walking back to the hotel to the sound of call to prayers for the Muslims.
