My tour of Cappadocia with Ali Faik Anayurt, my Turkiye tour guide, where we visited the rock-hewn churches of the Göreme Open-Air Museum, saw the Uçhisar Castle carved out of a giant rock, stayed in an authentic cave hotel, dined at great local restaurants, and got up early for a spectacular hot-air balloon ride over the moon-like landscape of the region. This is the second in a four-part series on Turkiye. For more information on Turkiye, visit www.goturkiye.com.
