Cappadocia in winter

Cappadocia is beautiful at any time of the year but in winter its show-stopping landscapes take on an ethereal quality. In the valleys the rock cones are dusted with an icing sugar coating of snow while honey-stone villages are sandwiched between the rippling white sheets of the mountains. It’s Narnia for grown ups; sans the witch but definitely still with the Turkish delight.

Wowwww! We visited in summertime, but these photos are unreal. It seems a completely different place and truly like a real life fairy tale!

Lovely! So nice to see that some people travel in the off-season.

  Off-season is always fun in big tourist destinations isn’t it: cheaper rooms, folk with more time to talk to you, empty tourist sites. It’s a winner.

Looks fantastic, great photos! I have been wanting to visit Cappadocia for a while, but haven’t even considered visiting in the winter. Do you know if it snows often?

  It’s pretty much luck of the draw though you’re more likely to see snow in January than in any other month.

Wow, this really makes me want to go here! If your interested, I’m actually blogging about my recent experience in Israel. No snow there obviously but ancient cities of a different kind

I went in the winter also and found it weirdly beautiful. A little dead in terms of people, but still really cool.

Unbelievable! I was there in February this year and I could say that it was quite hot there, still breathtaking nonetheless. But this, your pictures, is just amazing!

  Thanks. Cappadocia is one of those places that truly does look completely different in every season 🙂
