Cappadocia, Ilhara Valley

On our way back to Antalya, we stopped by the Ilhara Valley where we went hiking with Guillaume & Charlotte.

We knew we were still in Cappadocia: there were lots of fairy chimneys, rock caved churches and houses.

The Ilhara valley is very nice. It is a 16 km gorge. The green color of the vegetation contrasts with the "organics" scenics of the past days.

In the center of this gorge, there is a river, perfect spot for the picnic and fishing... for the kids. We,unfortunately, couldn't expect any extra food from this activity

Then we went inside the caves. We were going on a bear hunt, are you afraid? NOOOOO answered the kids... We don't know if they were tiptoing inside :-)

Very nice adventure even for the youngest one...

Once we reached the upper level of the caved house, we enjoyed the scenic view of the valley.

Do you see the little window on the upper left side of the rock?
...

We were there !!!

On the way back, the kids were quite tired but they didn't complain, they had a lot of fun.
Guillaume & Bruno even had to carry 2 kids at a time each (one on the shoulders, one in the backpack).
