Today I'll visit some of the early Churches and the places where St Basil and St Gregory roamed. I already have a sense of the desert places and the fairly basic existence of the Christians who lived here from the 1st - 15th centuries, see below for photos of the caves they dug out of the rock and the local landscape.
The last photo is of the old and the 'new' Cappadocia, although since the whole of Cappadocia is a national park and heritage listed you need special permission to build. I say to any Aucklanders sell up and for a mere $500,000 you too can have a 10 room set of caves!
