Cave houses of Cappadocia

Last sight seeing I did here in Turkey took me by bus to the center of the country. Saw an underground city used by settlers over 1000 years ago to hide from invading forces. There are hundreds of active cave houses in use, carved out of the mountains formed by volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. Pretty surreal stuff... Looks like Tatooine.

The overnight bus ride (13 hours each way!) is only for the dedicated (and poor)... I recommend flying if you can afford it.
