Cappadocia, Turkey | Exploring an Ancient Ghost Town

Here's the previous video in which I explored the beautiful Ihlara Valley, where early Christians fled to escape persecution by the Romans: th-cam.com/video/_Ttkmjugj-0/w-d-xo.html
💓💓
Thanks for showing my village! Guzelyurt is the Turkish name. In Greek the village is called "kalvari" or "Karvali". My grandparents came to Greece in 1924 from there and they created from zero a new village called "Nea karvali" (new Karvali). Good job Gabriel! You are a hero, needs a lot of courage to go into these caves alone..quite scary...
Guzelyurt is the latest name, it was "Gelveri" before , most likely villagers' pronunciation of Kalvari
You don’t stop doing what you do, no matter what is happening with the world. Wow!
Completely surreal.
Capadocia never ends, so amazing to see...looking forward to your new adventures🙏
i love the distressed facades of buildings and the old world, thank you again Gabriel for sharing the magic and mystery in these times. bless always.
What is the name of the song sounds beautiful
İ would've not go down to the caves in the dark alone, you are brave.
WOW , far out , blows my mind Gabe !!! Happy days
Awesome place. Some of those old Greek structures would be a good backdrop to a horror story! I love it.
Lots of history there...... you are very brave to go in such deserted streets by yourself. Stay safe and healthy!
Man if I have a passport the same as yours I will do the same thing...traveling and exploring. I really do believe that God created us to explore and to wander. No fear of going into the unknown and creepy places. Keep it coming Gabe!
Sometimes i want to have a traveller life style. Exploring places ,cultures, humans, eating all those beautiful foods, learning about ancient places. Man there is too much to do in the world.
I like that "oh no what am i doing?!" lol
I can not get enough of Cappadocia shots and exploring!
WoW!! Your so brave, Nice to see another place you've visit. Thanks for all of this. Take Care Gabriel. 😇💖💕
I like how you are respectful of the cultures and peoples you visit and always choose to be safe, but I am glad you decided to go down those stairs. I'm marking this for future viewing. I can't wait for the next video.
Amazing! You certainly are braver than most!
To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the most pleasant sensations in the world!!!!
Great video Gabriel love the Moorish music at intro keep safe .
Amazing unexplored content! Love watching you during my lunch break.
Gabriel:
It is time to move out of the caves of Turkey and do a question and answer with your viewers!
I suspect that many of your readers are fascinated with your travels and life on the road and learning the back story. If I met you in person I would have a thousand questions and I suspect what you would say would be fascinating.
My suggestion is to encourage your viewers to give you questions and you would spend some of your videos answering them.
To get things started here are just a few of my questions:
1) How do you decide where to stay when you are traveling? Do you have a budget? As you get older are you more bothered by noise, a hard mattress, dirt, and grime, or just a creepy location? As your viewership grows do you feel like you can start staying in nicer hotels and stop staying in hostels?
2) How do you decide where you are going next? Now that you covered the Balkins and Turkey and the weather is getting cold, how did you decide what places you wanted to visit next?
3) Why don't you go to more places in Latin America? I hear Americans can now go to Brazil and Costa Rica? If you are not planning a trip there in the next few months, why not?
(I could come up with many more questions. Thanks!)
Wonderful place. Very beautiful video. Nice creation. Great work friend.
I am not sure, but I think detected a Greek word where those words were on the plaque near the end of the video 19:15 third word down. It had the Greek letter Pi...awesome video as always...
Hello..Gabriel...amazing video... Many thanks... Excellent job of you.. 🍀
Boo
Everything is brown - sounds like the exact opposite of where we are in Nicaragua. Every building here is painted bright and varied colours. Colour choice really makes a difference to the area!
At 3:55 says "Κύριε φυλαξον τους εν αυτή" which means "Lord protect whom are (live) inside (this house). 1892 May 14"
I see, good to know.
Explore that ghost town alone?no way sir!.When you walk on the rock it is very risky. The view from above is so amazing! Amazingly beautiful! It's hard to believe. the cave building is more than the previous one ..very,very giga extraordinary sir!👍
Gabriel, wonderful vid, the history of that place and architecture makes it a must visit. Thank you for showing and for your time in making. 🙏
Great video man brightened up my day 👍👍
Thats an amazing video. Love to see your vlog. Keep inspiring us to make awesome video. ❤❤

The holes is where they kept their water. Cool stuff

Güzeldi in guzelyurt! Never ending history, ❤it! Enjoy the views my friend, be careful until next time. 🤗✌
The real Indiana Jones. Lol. 😀
What Indiana?
Bald has better adventures than Indiana Jones and he gets the hot girls too lol
That was a fine bit of exploration. But my god, that staircase!
Hindi song in the beginning, cool.
Thank you Gabriel! Is always exciting to see the fabulous and sometimes scary videos! Stay safe until the next video ❤🙏😊😎
Wow! The meals looks great, specially how they save them.
Great videos, and I like the natural color palette, if you cranked up the saturation on your videos I think it would make the exotic locations you visit look even better!
Wow that's awesome
Such an interesting area.
That cave definitely had a creepy vibe.
Almost looks like some abandoned movie set. Interesting and creepy at the same time.
I wouldn't explore this ghost town alone as just watching you felt scary, but thanks brave Gabriel enabling us to see it!
Great Indian Music .. Awesome Brother
What an epic adventure!
Gabriel, Great exploration as usual, well done. Wished to highlight - Metal Bars on the Windows to stop People getting in - a 'Security' feature rather than a 'Prison' as mentioned by yourself.
Regards
i love all your video, it's amazing 😘😍
I got front row seat in my house today and an quarantine 2nd week Gabriel’s video is just perfect timing..
Hang in there! Greece right? How long is the lockdown supposed to last this time?
I’m still in Montréal, my trip to Crete it’s still on hold from March ..here in Montréal 2nd quarantine plus today November 20, 20 our prime minister Trudeau said to stay home and we see in to early 2021 .. Greece is in a mess with the government and issues with Turkey ... I’m on my 1st month retirement.. your videos series on Turkey are awesome.. Greece are in a lockdown and the people are fractured government don’t care plus is 2021 all home owners even if they payed off their house now have to pay rent for the next 12 years. One way to pay off the loans ... check Greece before you take your next trip there .. ..I do enjoy your videos ..take care ..
@@georgechilidis8446 Tough times! We can hope that maybe things will be better by next summer.
Just to remind you a couple of historic days in Greece next year 2021 ..1st on March 25, 2021 is Greek Independence Day from Turkey in 1821 - 2021 =200 years ..2nd is on May 20, 2021 is the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Crete ... this way Turkey pick this year to mess with Greece and wants a few Greek islands and half of Cyprus... but this wouldn’t happen... stay cool
Gabriel my grandfather came on boat to Crete from Constantinople, Turkey and he told me that the people were short like 5 feet even the houses had small doors to my grandparents house now that you are looking at the caves the doors are small for you and I 6ft ..they were small people
What a awesome area to explore.
A surreal ghost town.. you re really brave to venture in all this abandoned caves..
Obviously Greeks were living there before this population exchange with Turkey..
You show places, which I personally will never see myself, so I m happy to discover them through your eyes, although I ve visited Cappadocia twice, years ago...but didn't explore the way you do...Anyways fascinating layers of cultures...in the wild
far east 😀
As I understand, you left Turkey...I wonder what s your next destination..maybe South America with warm weather, beaches ...and relaxing conditions..
if some countries are open over there ..
Best regards from Paris 👋 waiting for new explorations !
Stay safe and healthy
Gabriel 😀👍🏃♂️
Delicious food!
Amazing. I am more convinced by each video, that this area is the the area of the dawn of civilization. Although I guess there is no data on that yet. But which caveman wouldn't want to live in all those natural caves? Probably had underground water pools too. One day they will do digs and see that I am correct.
Looks like a biblical cataclysm took place and they’ve built on top !
What a view! 10:58
Great video!
Fascinating stuff
In England the coppers would say "Ello, ello, ello, what's going on here then?"
Wow I’ve never seen this side of turkey !
Thanks Gabriel- you brave guy
I will echo what others would like to see....A live stream Q&A on Turkey
Awesome and wild place
Great Gabriel, it really needs guts to go inside the mysterious caves.
Who is here that dislike this video please like this man all video
This is very honest guys💓💓
Just as you went into that dark cave, my air con randomly started making noises and began spitting small shards of ice. Totally freaked me out. Random as anything. I guess I need maintenance on my air con.
Just a glitch in the matrix.
My FOMO is so bad if I went to Cappadocia I think my head would explode
Just look at all the technology hidden away in this old city. I see security cameras everywhere, it makes me wonder who is watching everyone.
Really sad they did a population exchange. People lost their homes, neighbours and were strangers in their new homes. Never should have happend
It looks like that new church (mosque) in the valley is St. Gregorius, dating from 1891.
hi Gabriel, Well talk about caves and dwellings this had to be a large community here these Greeks must have been there over a large period of time it's amazing what people had to do to escape prosecution from the Romans, and after all that, the Romans they accepted Christianity as there religion.
Finally, I am leaving the US to Dubai, still got the covid test to do, which I really dred as I heard it might be painful. I really wish to meet up with you in case you consider going to Dubai during your current tour :)
we love you as turkish people american gabriel
After watching all the Vagrant Holiday videos, it really makes you wonder if exploring is ALWAYS a good idea...
how wicked was that meal presentation in the begging of the video? x
Love it! Where do you go from here?
How long will you stay in Turkey, Gabe? You travel there quite some time already. What country next?
I left Turkey two weeks ago. Videos from another country coming soon.
England maybe???
@@samuelcarroll5463 Actually I did go to London after Turkey, but I just spent a week in quarantine in a hotel and didn't do any filming there. Then I flew somewhere else.
Got that from your comment on Simon's video! It pays to be subscribed to all you trailblazers. Safe travels
are you planning on going down to visit the huge migrant camps or towns on the boarder ?
It’s the Wild Wild East!
If Gabe likes Turkey he would also be fascinated by the ruins of Ur and other Sumerian cities in southern Iraq.
That sounds amazing.
Thanks for solving the riddle of the shelves! But what of ones inside the caves? They don't seem practical when you could just carve out one or two long shelves. And no-one in their right mind would want to share living space with loads of pidgeon guano.
My DUDE!!
Fab !!!
9:43 Nooo, not the socks with sandals! 😂 ( I’m teasing 😉)
Uniqlo socks would be warm enough!
Anyone know the music/ song starting at 0:30? Beautiful
Music is always listed in the description, click Show More and scroll down.
I get so nervous for you in these caves! I am surprized no homeless people living in them. Do they not have homeless people there like here in the states? Interesting. Thank you.
No, they don't seem to have the same homeless problem as in the US. Very few homeless or beggars it seems.
Very interesting .
The place is far from the centrum. How the my could manage? We have homeless people but they like collecting trash and garbage etc. they need to stay close to the centrums. Also sleeping at forests and abandoned historical places are forbidden and the government will cut you bill. Before this, the villagers of Cappadocia are very traditional & strictly old minded and won't let the homeless people be in peace there. Their life is also managed by truism and they can't afford to fill the places with the homeless and scare the tourists. They will simple create trouble to them after they find out or hear a rumour that a homeless lives there. Also homeless people won't stay there because if anything strange happens in the village they will think it was the homeless who committed the crime.
Where do you do go for covid 19? Turkey
Trying to say hello to ghost 👻
Hey Bear!!
What is the beautiful song at the beginning of this video?
The metal bars is rebar.
You Crazy 😬 I can never go into those caves alone 😱 Did you leave Turkey?
Yes, I left a couple weeks ago.
I am from Nepal,,,
Indiana Gabriel Jones, if you could time travel to the past or the future, which one would you choose.
Well I guess it's a rhetorical question, right :-)))
Cappadocia in 500 BC.
I wonder if one day the Byzantine Empire will arise like a phoenix from the ashes.
brother please visit Bangladesh 🤗🤭
6000 year ago this valley and this area have lots of forests but now there is no forest and also trees :-/
Socks and sandals eek! Just kidding. We are following you wherever you go😃
Please get some walking boots, I had a panic attack around those cliff edges.
