Title: Central Turkey Plot: Soaring above the stunning terrain of Cappadocia in a hot air balloon, we feast our eyes on its unique beauty. Below the surface, we navigate through an ancient underground city used by Christians seeking refuge. We'll participate in a lively circumcision celebration, wander through eerie troglodyte villages, shop for sheep at a bustling market, and engage in conversation with a local imam. Our adventure continues in Ankara, the contemporary capital, where we honor the legacy of Atatürk, the founding father of modern Turkey.
