Cappadocia, Turkey

Last year my cousin, an ex-patriot of several years who left NYC for the shores of Bali, bought a house in a small Turkish village. The village is in the Cappadocia region of Turkey, known mostly for its unique landscapes and a population which dates back to the pre-biblical days.

My cousin and her friend have been renovating the house, but these are the first pictures I've seen. Although they aren't nearly done yet, I'm already excited to visit, just by looking at these pictures. The house is built into the side of a scraggy hill (with a "chimney" formation at the peak) and it has a cool interior arch.

From what I hear, there is a very small English-speaking population in this village and the locals are pretty laid back for the most part (except during Ramadan when the local guys working on the house were crabby due to a month of fasting, no smoking, and no sex.)



SWEET VIEW!

Check out this hotel in the Cappadocia region. AWESOME .
