Cappadocia

Hundreds of hot-air balloons lifting off at dawn over a landscape of stone chimneys carved by wind and time, underground cities dug deep enough to hide entire populations, and cave hotels that turn sleeping in a fairy chimney into the whole point of the trip.
The best time to visit Cappadocia is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 21°C (70°F).
