Las fotos que tomamos en el Valle de Devrent y en el Castillo de Uchisar parecen postales. Definitivamente es la ruta adecuada para quienes visitan Capadocia por primera vez.

No hay palabras para describir la belleza de los lugares visitados, pero caminar bajo el sol en Zelve fue un poco cansado para mi madre mayor. Las pausas de descanso podrían haber sido más largas.
