I lived in Göreme for 4 years or so. Cappadocia is a very special and unique part of the world. I left part of my soul there. I see it in my dreams sometimes.
Absolutely fascinating! So much to see there snd thank you for showing us around.
Wonderful tour and history! We appreciate your talent!
Been there myself a few years ago & I confirm this is an amazing & eery place. Thank you for the memories!
What an amazing room and place to have a holiday, taking in the fantastic memorable sights. I'm really enjoying your videos, thanks Gabriel.
Beautiful Cappadocia❤thank you Gabe
What a great day! Starting with the breathtaking sunrise with the hot air balloons and ending the day at a restaurant at dusk, with the moon rising over Goreme in the distance. Thanks for this amazing and interesting tour of Goreme, so beautiful! ❤✨🌙

BEST VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN BRAVO GABRIEL TRAVELER. T,Y.
Good idea on saying hello hello a few times in new areas
Your best video till now in terms of filming and scenery❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the uncrowded open natural desert topography. That's definitely a place to visit.
Beautiful place. All the best for you Gab.
We have come to understand your love for this place. It’s truly amazing. Anyone who doesn’t understand why you keep coming here has never been here. We totally agree with you on the sauces! Again it was great running into you. Safe travels.
So fascinating and unique Place on Earth. Must See Place for everyone
Fascinating, Amazing, Spectacular, Mysterious, I can't get enough of this place. And another thing, 55 Euros will get you a spot in a caravan park here in Australia. Thank you Gabriel, keep safe.
Best intros of all travel Vloggers👍
Ok. About the food, have you ever tried İskender Kebab and Aiı Nazık? My two favorite Turkish dishes. İskender has a tomato pepper sauce with butter and shaved döner kebab., Ali nazik has a roasted eggplant with yogurt sauce base with tender lamb cubes on top. Absolutely delicious!
I probably have. I had one with eggplant recently that was quite good. I've definitely had some tasty Turkish meals. But I decided to have Indian food tonight for a change...no regrets.
Great video gabe I've visited turkey before but I've never tried the caves I always go to the beach resorts maybe one day I'll give it a try have fun😂
Great music
Glad to hear it.
great cinematography , I like the music, saludos
Have you ever thought of exploring the Black Sea region of Turkey? This is the least explored part of the country by travel vloggers and it's a very long coastline with ancient cities like Trabzon and Amasra that looks amazing!
I mentioned this to him in a previous. Huge coastline, monasteries, etc.
Yes, maybe another time. Flight tomorrow to another country that should be very interesting.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Looking forward to seeing Egypt
Never knew you had another channel....inner quest. Cool
Nice job Gabriel! 👍
Greetings from Halkidiki, Greece.
Cool, enjoy Greece.
Great video
Wow. That cloth change vfx was amazing 😝
High tech special effects around here.
By the way major props to Gab's barber he/she did a excellent job! Cappadocia is a magical place I've had to pleasure to visit there for a week and had an amazing time. You really need a rental to explore though.
Nice dinner with a beautiful view 👍
So beautiful 🧿
Amazing 👍
They developed it very nicely, without clashing with the ancient feel and landscape. The hotel room decor was beautiful. Stunning carpets. I never knew about the pigeon roosts. We used to eat raised pigeons, don't think they do it anymore now, but they were eaten grilled or boiled with the stock used for tomato flavoured macaroni. Re sauces, they eat yogurt with a lot of foods, and most sauces are from the juices produced from cooking meats and vegetables, such as in stews. Turkish cuisine is so much more than kebabs, there are so many different stews that are not 'dry' and which bread is used to mop up the sauce. Rice is usually cooked in a tasty chicken or lamb broth, not plain water, and with added orzo or noodles sauteed in butter and olive oil. Ask for pilav, not pirinc. Maybe they think you want rice the way most of the world cooks it ie in plain water. Dolma is Turkish, by the way. It comes from the Turkish verb for filling, dolmak.
Fascinsting. Thanks. This area gets snow in the winter. Hope they keep warn.😊
Love Valley hike trail starts in Goreme and takes you all the way to Uchisar.
🙂❤👍Thank You Gabriel 🙂
That is an awesome tourist center. I guess some of those are inherited by locals who use it store clutter for they live in nice modern homes today? Not all UN World Heritage sites, but did some people lose their properties and land to it or where bought out by imminent domain?
Oh Gabriel, Turkish cuisine is some of the best in the world. Order Cacik, the yogurt with mint sauce.
Your dinner of Turkish Ravioli ( looks like it has yoghurt mixed into it) and that big trout and sides look delicious. That is a big meal which you deserve after all of that climbing.
Looks like mantı. Funny, of all the things to critique in Turkey he chose the cuisine 🤯🤯 First time I've heard a travel vlogger complain about the food there. Maybe it keeps his friends with anti-Turkish sentiment happy. I appreciate all good cuisine in moderation, whichever country it's from.
İt is mantı
You could just stay in Turkey and visit areas you still haven’t been to.
Hey Gabriel. Curious what’s song at start of video? Sounds like sound track from a movie or show I love (band of brothers?)but can’t think of what it is. Another great video btw. As always thank you for what u do 🤙🏼🖖🏼
Music is always listed in the description, just click "show more".
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I had. But the song at start wasn’t one of the two links :( it’s at very start of video with the balloons in the air in the AM.
It's not a link, it's right under where it says "Music in the video". It's the first one listed, "You Saved Me" by Dream Cave.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos omg 😅 I had not noticed that 😅 thank you so much for taking the time to explain to this old man. It’s a beautiful track from this and some of your other videos. Truly appreciate you 🤙🏼🖖🏼
No worries. ✌
It’s all good up in that joint!
In Turkey rice is traditional cooked with butter but restaurants are cheaping out and using sunflower seed oil or some other type of vegetable oil instead, usually. Sometimes people, when eating rice at home, also mix it with natural yoghurt. The way food is presented, especially the condiments that come with it, in touristic restaurants are not a really very traditional way of presenting Turkish food. Traditionally you'd get some sort of assorted meze dishes such as ezme (a sort of salsa), and haydari (a natural yoghurt based cold meze dish) that would be eaten together with the main dish.
Hi Gabe, just noticed your videos being included in another channel.
Did you start a new channel (Inner Quest)?
great series
Can you pls suggest where to rent a 2 wheeler from in Goreme and what would the price be like?
If you would prefer your Turkish food with sauce, try the Iskender Kebab that is served in a tasty tomatoe sauce with hot butter poured over and eaten with plain yogurt to make it more moist. The best Iskender Kebabs are served in the city of Bursa but are also available all over Türkiye. Afiyet Ölsun / Bon appetit ! 👍🍽
Sauce in turkey is like yoghurt / tzatziki maybe some chili sauce, ask them and they will provide
You must try yoghurt pureed with oregano, garlic, and gooseberry
Hi Gabriel, it seems like Cappadocia is like Niagara Falls, a romantic hot spot to get married or engaged. The homes are remarkably familiar to Adobe homes of the U.S. Southwest specifically, New Mexico where the homes are cool for day heat and warm for the nights. The rice is definiley something you can mix anything with like beans or meat with gravy you can't go wrong.
what is the name of the place you booked for your stay this time , looking at going there next sep
Takunya Cave Hotel.
You should consider Gobekli Tepe and give us your take on the area.

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Thank you. I watched it. Thank you for including the prices. I will be back in Andorra in Feb/March but Türkyie is on my radar. Greetings from Nicaragua !
👍👍👍
Go to Kerala! You'll love it.
How many minutes do they chant from the mezzanine and how many times a day?
Google it lady
👍
South Africa 🤞
You got the continent right.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos awesomeness, I can’t wait!!!
Do you travel with one way ticket, let me know please if it is a good idea,
Yes, most of the time, except for where I'm going next because a flight out of the country was required. But still I bought one way tickets separately.
@@GabrielTravelerVideosMorocco
Turkish cuisine literally has hundreds of ways to cook rice (pilav) and I can assure you that boiling it in plain water is not one of them. Maybe they do this in touristic areas, I don't know. Rice can be cooked in chicken broth, lamb broth, with sauteed vermicelli or orzo, with lentils and onions, with chickpeas and onions, with tomatoes and broth, with bits of lamb and onion, with bits of eggplant and onions, with carrots, almonds, cinnamon and chicken pieces, with zucchini and all the above combined, the list goes on. Gabe, you need to interact with the locals (not the waiters or hotel staff) and let them make suggestions on where and what to eat. Condiments like ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise are not needed when the food itself has flavour. Testi kebab is not dry, it's cooked in a tomato sauce, so I'm not convinced you've eaten it.
I'd like soooo much to see some local people!!!
No locals 👎
Have you been to Nemrut Dağı?
No, but I'd like to get up there sometime.
Yogurt is their favourite sauce for kabob
I love the Call to Prayer.
You wound up in a hole project aarea built to relieve
Summer crowding in Alex in the summer. It goes dead at sumers end. Alex is busy and Lively year round. Don't miss the fortress where the Pharos lighthouse stood.. One of the seven wonders. FishMarket restaurant on El Cornice and Abdo Farag in Ras at Tin is traditional, photogenic and great seafood. Marsa has good beaches where Cleo swam. The big attraction is the ww2 battlefield. Siwa is a true wonder. Amazigh people who pre date the Egyptians and have their own language. There are hot springs, rare date varieties, and the finest rare olive oils, beautiful exotic women and even tales of the lost city of Zarzura somewhere nearby. Find it and we arre rich Consult the oracle, Alexander did. You could spend a month in Siwa and not run out of video material. You will love it. Best of luck, Jake. 😊
That was a hotel project area, not a hole and it, not Alex, goes dead at the end of summer.
Twice I walked up past that spot where you had to pay 20 lira, and twice a group of dogs chased me away at the top.
Why? Did you roll around in bacon grease? 🤔
Turkey the best country of islamic religion & which is free of mind domination!!! Love it!
Why do you always bring up religion? Has someone taken control of your mind too? 🤔
Ive counted 99 balloons.
🌍🧭✌
Just back from 5 days in Goreme Cappadocia, I honestly found it the most boring place I've ever visited. Apart from doing a Hot Air Balloon ride, I literally just wanted to leave and go explore other parts of Turkey..
Maybe it's you who's boring, Joel.
You are not too far from Noah's Ark National Park, Turkey which is unique.
New EU TRAVEL HIGH digital ID going into effect less 90 days, Nov. 1ST 2024 🎉
Why you are mot showing Indian History Forts, and many other old water well and Palaces. Jaipur , Udaypur, Jodhpur, and many other city of India has many old palaces which are still in very good conditions.
I've been to all of those cities and made videos: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Jodhpur

Boom, got it.
I disagree I think there is something comforting when I hear the call to prayer. Lets not forget Turkey is a Muslem country, its respectful to remember that. I'm a practicing Catholic, I'd like to think I show, and have respect for other peoples believes. 😊
Yes, that girl in the comments also made a disrespectful comment about Muslim rituals. If they can't handle it then maybe they should not visit Muslim countries.
What spoils these places is when they become too tourist focussed & I would find that noisy racket going on annoying even though appreciate its part of their culture. Also its all very beige & dusty looking. Definitely not for me but thx for showing it.
The noisy racket annoys you. What effect do the antics of priests have on you? 😂
Super boring , super healthy .
Rice? Just add a little butter or olive oil and salt and suddenly it's tasty. Or tahini or soy sauce or another kind of sauce. That's my preference anyway. I hope you're good. 😊✌️
@@GabrielTravelerVideosread that rice contains the highest amount of plastic.
I wouldn’t say rice is particularly healthy. Much better off eating potatoes.
@@RovexHD I'm with you on potatoes, anything except fries, had enough for a lifetime, they come with everything.
Sorry, but it all looks like an big garbage dump, to me ! Totally not for me !
How does it feel living life as a diagnosed dullard?
I have to say the call to prayer is very annoying if you are not Muslim.
Then you need to convert 👍
I don't mind it during the day, but I despise it at 5 in the morning.
It is weird, I love it. I am from Christian background, but parents lived in Turkey, and got used to the call to prayer, and so when I hear it, I think of my parents.....so most of time maybe it is annoying, but in my case, it is nostalgic beyond words...
Growing up Orthodox Christian, the chanting occurred inside the church & wasn't broadcast 5 times a day. Imposing religion on others is more of an interference, not an attraction.
@@t.s.5938 These are Muslim countries. They can proceed as they wish regardless of how much it annoys you. Stay in Christian countries otherwise.
What is the point to travel 6 times to the same place again ? There is more to explore in the world than just Cappadocia and Greece.
Only five times. I agree, six times would be ridiculous.
Gabe explained this in the episodes before this one.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Greece dozens of times now ?
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Lol, different every time. People ask me why I keep returning to india multiple times…could do a year & not even scratch the surface. Got the itch for it now, I’m back in the uk six months & it’s getting chilly, just been rewatching your Amritsar vids…that’s my happy place, always have 3 or 4 days there every India trip.
Cappadocia reminds me of Bedrock from the Flintstones. Yabba Dabba Doo Gabe! 🦕
Is Joe Rockhead married? 🏳️🌈
Hi there … you’ve been talking about criticism from people.. I have a question .. who or what makes you laugh ? When was the last time you had a belly laugh ? I’ve been watching you many years and l enjoy it so much .. why so serious ? ✌️🫶🏻
