Central Anatolia? That does not sound like sea and beaches you may wonder. And you are right. The climate is rough, winters long and frosty, and summers hot and dry. And that’s exactly why it is worth a visit: The ancient people of Cappadocia have tried to protect themselves from nature’s torments, and built their homes inside the rocky hills. A whole cultural underworld is there to be discovered by contemporary travelers. Other attractions are Turkey’s capital Ankara, the unlikely metropolis in the desert, and Konya , birthplace of Mevlana Celaladin Rumi, prominent of Sufism, a legacy still preserved and an integral part if Turkish culture. Think dervishes.
