| he volcanic rock formations at | |
| Cappadocia are located within the Goreme National Park and are a | |
| popular tourist attraction in the region. Around 4,000 years | |
| ago, people started carving cave dwellings into the bizarrely | |
| shaped mounds of volcanic rock that were deposited by now | |
| extinct volcanoes. What remains is a remarkable and unique | |
| network of caves and tunnels, such as those at Derinkuyu, that | |
| stretch over 11 floors to a depth of around 85 metres. | |
| oday | |
| you can still explore part of the Derinkuyu cave complex for a | |
| fascinating and truly unique glimpse into history. It�s also | |
| possible to take a hot air balloon ride above the Cappadocia | |
| area to view the rock formations from an alternative angle. | |

| ocated just a short 25 minute | |
| drive north of Kusadisi, the ancient city of Ephesus houses the | |
| largest collection of Roman ruins in the eastern Mediterranean | |
| region and was once home to the Temple of Artemis � one of the | |
| seven wonders of the ancient world. Ephesus dates from the 13th | |
| century B.C. and was once a major port city with a large | |
| population. But when the port silted up, most of the citizens | |
| left, abandoning the city in a short space of time. Today many | |
| of the ruins still stand in surprisingly good condition. | |
| Visitors can still see the remains of the amphitheatre and | |
| library, along with many other ruins and relics. The Ephesus | |
| site will take a full day to see properly and entrance costs 20 | |
| Turkish Lira | |

| umela Monastery in the Trabzon | |
| province of North East Turkey is an amazing sight. The monastery | |
| is built in the most impressive, impossible and inaccessible | |
| location, in a hollow of a sheer cliff face a thousand feet | |
| above the valley floor, and it seems a miracle that the building | |
| manages to cling on to the rock. The monastery dates back to the | |
| 4th century when it was founded by a Greek monk known as blessed | |
| Barnabas. For those wanting to visit Sumela monastery and take a | |
| look around inside to see the monks living quarters and various | |
| relics and frescoes left behind, a 40 minute hike through thick | |
| woodland is necessary and an entrance fee of 8 Turkish Lira | |
| (about �3.50 or US$5)* is payable, but it is certainly worth the | |
| effort. | |
