You have been blessed with amazing blue skies, In all of the recent series, Malta to Turkey, what history, letting us be part of the journey, making it much easier on our future travel plans, especially our budgets.
Really amazing. Otherworldly. You have a talent of discovering little known about places even to people who travel. Thank you for sharing this this with us.
Several years ago I walked up that same track to the little church. It was closed, so I am pleased to see what it looked like inside. The thing I remember most about the walk up was seeing so many bunches of mistletoe in the trees along the way.
Gabriel I totally understand that this is your favorite place. Unbelievable history and the intracasies and vastness of these dwellings and fairy chimneys blows my mind! I would want to explore for months,dwell in them and ponder all those that lived there thousands of years ago. Wow
$65 US/night is a bit pricey for Turkey for a budget hotel, but I guess it's a very touristic area, for example I was just in Warsaw yesterday, my hotel cost $55/night for a very nice hotel in central Warsaw. Currently in Krakow and paying $60ish. The larger debate is whether Turkey is becoming expensive. I did a couple months long jaunt of Turkey in 2010, haven't visited since, back then I remember Turkey being very inexpensive. I stayed near the Blue Mosque in a nice place for $25 US... I guess those days are long gone!
It's a brand new hotel that's really nice and great location, breakfast included, fast wifi. So I'd say it's a pretty good deal. But Turkey isn't as cheap as I thought it might be. The lira has devalued, but there has also been inflation so it seems about the same as when I was here before.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos 65 is very high, in turkey it's more worth it renting an airbnb for a month or two, your rent will be about the same as 2-3 weeks in a hotel. I travel a lot in turkey so know it well, hotels rarelly allow negotiation but airbnbs allow a lot of room for negotation especially for a month rental. For food you should look at the franchises they are a lot cheaper than the random touristic restaurants. You can get a large breakfast with drink for around 4-5 euros....
I made the mistake of not renting a car when I came to Cappadocia. It ended up being fine and I booked some tours, but ultimately wished I had a car to save time and freedom. Ended up wasting a lot of time walking and relying on taxis. Also, Dibek has great food. Recommended by a local as the best food in Göreme and it did not disappoint.
Be sure to check your water bottle if you visit a caravanserai because I bought one with the cap glued onto an old bottle with dirty water unwittingly.
Hi Gabriel, the caves are fascinating. It does seem that this area has some earthquake damage which would explain some of the damage you have shown in the video. The entranceways look like they have earthquake damage. The ceilings are another problem with oxidation, they're fading at some point, and they will disappear if not retouched. Less exposure to light and moisture in the air should maintain them for a while longer.
"Cappadocia is an ancient land with a fascinating religious history. It is even mentioned in the Book of Acts in the Christian Bible. The earliest Christians were here almost 2000 years ago and by the 3rd and 4th centuries were using the caves for churches and monasteries." fasinating info on the web about this area
The church with the caved in roof from the leebryan79 video is just past the road/entrance to the open air museum on the left side of the road may 200 feet or so off of the road. If you search the chimneys just past the open air museum on the left side of the road maybe 5 minutes of walking past the open air museum you should find it easily as it is one of the chimneys nearest to the road. If you have a car you should check the underground city at Mazikoy which is just 10k or so past Kaymakli with a car and is a totally different experience compared to the underground cities that have been made "tourist friendly" and give the caretaker/guide a tip if you can as he is a character and a good guide as well.
Hey Gabie baby, was thinkin that you’d do up a great vid in Palermo Sicily in the capuchin crypts. Also Spain! There’s many a place in Spain!!! Was kinda wondering why you not like Israel so much? Have you been all over there? Ought to check many other places there, too. Good day traveler, wished I could go! Places in England, Ireland, Scotland too, but there’s no place like home isn’t always true, is it? Check out Sarlat France. Hope you have healthy and happy travels! ✌️
Thank u so much sir Gabe for your Sharing History, and Advice Budget and Expenses, There in Cappadocia Turkey, one of my Bucket list dream travel destinations 😍 in Europe Thank u for your wonderful walk around tour Godbless u from your solid fan supporter from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 👏👏🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
YES 🔥I had been tempted to leave a comment on your previous video to ask for exactly this info (how to get there, food, WiFi speed): this video answer some of the questions I had - thanks 🙏🏻 Ideally one of those caves would have WiFi: I would then start moving all my books to those shelves and gradually establish a private abode #justkidding
I don't know how I missed it the first two days, since it was right there. But it made for a fun quest trying to find it. Luckily I can say mission accomplished on that one, even though it took a while.
St. Peter's letters were addressed to Christians living in Cappadocia (1 Peter 1:1). The Apostle Paul was from Tarsus in Cilicia, which is the adjacent region just south of Cappadocia. Paul is believed to have traveled widely though Cappadocia during his missionary journeys."
I first heard of Goreme a few years ago when I bought a standard HD TV. The TV had screen savers, and all the changing screen views were spectacular, some were familiar and others were not. On my TV settings I did not have the location-label of these scenes turned on so I could keep the scenery pure and without clutter. Like I said I already knew the location of many like the one with a lot of hot-air balloons rising up from this desert floor. I KNEW this was a scene from the Albuquerque, New Mexico Balloon Festival held every October. That was easy, it had very blue skies, reddish/brownish sandy desert floor, buttes and mountain terrain in the background. I changed the settings to see the locations of what I was NOT already familiar with. When the locations were labeled, the balloons scene came up and I was greatly surprised when the scene was not describing Albuquerque, it said "Goreme, Turkey." 😁Oops!
I wonder what happened to the people? Why did they leave? Also, am checking your vlog for vids on Tibilisi Georgia and coastline, and also Sri Lanka full coastline and inland, but can't find anything. Did I miss it? Thanks.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thank you very much Gabriel.....I have to say that you are only one of a few TH-camrs who replies to our comments....and thank you for that 🖐
Hey man I live in Chattanooga and hate it here and I want to be more free should I just leave it all behind and go south and try to find a new place to live what’s your advice I don’t have a lot of money but I have a car should I take a leap of faith and search for a new city ? Advice?
You move the camera a bit too fast. It is unfortunate that you didn’t cover the information on what to do there for someone who doesn’t have a car, the Tours available and cost of the Tours, especially the Balloons.
"Cappadocia appears in the biblical account given in the book of Acts 2:9. The Cappadocians were named as one group hearing the Gospel account from Galileans in their own language on the day of Pentecost shortly after the resurrection of Jesus Christ"
@@GabrielTravelerVideos thank you! In case you read your Instagram DM, I sent you one. I mentioned this in one of your recent videos of Turkey, but I don’t know if you read it. Thanks in advance. Happy travels!
Hay Gabriel, I watched your last year video in Turkey , you paid 8 lira to enter one museum, which was equal to 1 Dollar ,,,,, and now 20 Lira is equal to same 1 Dollar ,,, so is incredibly cheap ,, but they rip you off by charging you with Dollar for the Hotel
It's a proper tourist trap. The tour operators run a cartel and fix the prices for all the tours so you can't haggle as they know there's nothing you can do. Food prices are very high due to these factors as they people know they have to make as much money as they can off tourists during tourist season and that's it and there's no real local people living there (the few turkish people living there obviously get the local prices). Unless you are prepared to open your wallet very widely, you will have a miserable time. Funny Gabriel didn't go and ask at tour operators for prices of tours/hot air balloons to give us the real scoop on this place.

Hey Gabe you have no idea how much value I get from your content
Please keep doing what you do and stay safe brother 🙏
Another excellent crawl down the rabbit hole.. this place is a video goldmine. Love the hotel room prices are attractive.
Another great video where I can feel the love you have for exploring. It's one of my favorite things too. Thanks for doing all the hard work for us!
I really enjoy your videos. You're the Cal Ripken of Travel TH-camrs. Always have new content, no days off.
This is so awesome, Gabriel! I felt like an adventurer right along with you. So many mysteries. Such rich history.
i like your choice of crazy music for the cave wandering segment.
Cool.
We came by bus & took cheap bus to neighboring towns, and taxi to/from airport reasonable. Three Sisters in Urgup worth seeing
Really amazing. Otherworldly. You have a talent of discovering little known about places even to people who travel. Thank you for sharing this this with us.
Do as Harold would do, investigate those homes! Just a wow video..that city is one of the most fascinating you have taken us to.

Great video, Gabriel! I‘m editing the ultimate Cappadocia travel guide video and just like you I love this place so much! Best regards
Great video Gabe wow this place is really beautiful
Awesome video G!!
Again the wait is over good to see you again Gabriel with the new video.

Very nice impressions thanks a lot 👍
Gabe you can go to Kayseri from there. Just 40 minutes by car.
Gabes Content creation level is off the scale, how old is producing something for us to watch.
Gizeh machine
Cappadocia looks beautiful. Great content
Göreme is also famous with many boutique wine makers. Good stuff, very affordable.
Keep up the good work and stay safe
Wow Gabriel, some great finds 😎🙌☀️
Such an incredible place! Mesmerising

Great video amazing scenery I've been to turkey a few times but never visited capoadocia maybe one day soon have a great weekend x
One more extraordinary video. Planning to visit later in the fall.

Beautiful video I love it ,scratch my heart
It's an incredible scene I'm watching and thinking how did they dig and live there 🤔🙃
Gabriel are you familiar with the Tek Tek Mountain Mills National Park caves & ancient ruins 10 miles from Gobekli Tepe?
For some reason the place I want to visit the most in Turkey is the city of Sardis to see Artemis Temple and the Pactolus river.
Good evening, love your channel 🙂

They did their best to deface those murals back in the day, apparently.
Great Video !

Yep.
You need to learn how to film. You do move the camera toooo quickly especially when inside . it is like riding a rollercoaster. Slow down.
