Curator’s statement
A friend of mine suggested we should go to Cappadocia for her birthday. It ended up being a girlfriends trip and it was amazing! I’ve now been to Istanbul and Cappadocia. I totally recommend visiting Cappadocia, as it's a unique, unreal place full of experiences that you won’t forget. Ι definitely encourage you to do the air balloon tour, though if you are afraid of the heights the spectacle is breathtaking from the ground as well.
