Capadochia Just a few years ago, when first time I saw photographs of the landscape of this location,I thought I will get there someday... But it's certain that in a months (normal, any serious business begins months) we called the agency, just to ask you a question or two, as it doesn't cost anything ... even more certain is that after 10 minutes rezarvasem 2 seats pt last series respectively the last week of November.
The series began on the jumatea of September until late autumn, and prices descresteau in the same direction, so I had to pay at least as possible. You don't believe me cheap prick that I chose the cheapest, it doesn't really are, though I know very well the value money.
My work is, however, on his own account, there is no one to take my place, and something soft seat periods are typically sfarsiturile for Luna. So I had only 3 options: end of September (no, he's starting front faculty), October (No, we have to cut director' finutei small), it remains only late November. Forgot the net: warm, 20 degrees in thermometers, only good haladuit. Made their plans pretty young lady from the agency: flight Bucuresti-Antalya , accommodation 7 nights at hotels of 4 and 5 stars, breakfast, coach, guide, entry to museums, plus all the nations of taxes and insurance, in total about 250 euros apiece. Yes, auzirati well! How the hell can you say you don't they?! And anyway, I don't I gave on all ages, only a symbolic advance from the beginning, and the rest about 2-3 weeks prior to departure ... there is also the scenario that, PT still 129 euros per person, to "take" and dinner pt all 7 evenings, but I've told him step, I'll have we'll just make do on-the-spot checks.
Now it's nice, that any road of the mountain is not too dangerous. But everything is gray, because clouds base, treble and the rain. At a certain moment, the rain drops become snow flakes, first firavi, then more and more. We all enthusiastically take for granted like some kids! The color landscape change and it quickly, an even blanket of white covers coming soon road, mountain, fir trees.
It's because of the stories! Ozy informs us that we have about 30 minutes to the first camp. After only 5 minutes, however, we are forced to stop in, behind several cars, at the front, far away, there can be seen a ambush caused by a coach who was put across the road. Soferu' meddling in our, as well as other drivers, took advantage of the pause and forced his chains fitted to the wheels.
After about three-quarters of an hour, by coach troublesome is reset to the trace, and his ambition, we can manage to strive some 5-6 km to At any Homer Duruk, Akseki locality in the vicinity. "20 Minute pause", we announce our guide. E 12.00.
After about an hour, we come to Aksaray, practically Capadochia-starts here.. Famous groups of tuff outburst can't still be seen. Short history: training relates to the area eruptiile repeated in several volcanoes (the most important being that of offal mountain Ercyies, almost 4000m), dormant in our own day. The eraptions have started some 10 million years and rocks "spat upon" were consistent different; first a soft-Volcanic Ash, put in the form of tuff, then rocks toughest. The environmental factors have acted differently on these materials, scouring in lower layers softer and less on the higher. So they have been formed the famous "mushrooms", to put it bluntly beautiful translated "baskets sanzienelor" ( "fairy chimneys" ).
Soil fertile outburst, but also tuff easily processed, attracted people from the most ancient times. Terrorized prehitite populations, then the Hittite law emphasized restitution rather than (about 4,000 years), came then Mihailescu who embarked, who have appointed Katpatuka area ( "Country beautiful horses" ), the name change gradually in Capadochia
They don't even have too much wait and ruled here area until the Roman Empire was divided into the East and the West Side. Followed by Byzantine period, whose 5,000-ii due to a rich cultural heritage, the area being studded hundreds of Christian churches; in fact, many historians consider Capadochia-Christianity cradle (the first Christian community was set up in the area of Saint Peter).
Sec. XI-XIII SHALL communicate this, from Central Asia, requiring in the area radical Islamism, as the Empire is decaying Byzantine, without, however, that Christian analyzes to be. After only 200 years by the end of the month, dryly. 13, The state anatolian selciug Crumble and he in small sultanate, controlled by these people are Mongols. Slowly-slowly, Ottoman Empire becomes far as we know, a powerful state and enclose all these small groups, while maintaining continued tolerance of the confession--Christian, who survive in the area until 100 years ago. May we learn that carnation is the symbol selgiucizilor, and the driveshaft yoke Ottomans' skills; psionic! ; I didn't know.
