On this day we decided to stay one more night in Demre. This place is again a bit more remote than all the tourist places before. First we visited the church of St. Nicholas, a person I think everyone in the western world knows. Afterwards, we went to an old amphitheatre right in Demre as part of an ancient city. After that, we went a little further into the mountains to an area of ruins with countless sarcophagi, finally completely abandoned.

In Cappadocia we decided to stay two nights, so we had a full day to go on excursion in the area. The day started with an excursion to the underground caves. We eventually continued with a visit to Kayasehir Fortress, some more smaller ancient rock dwellings and finally two more rock castles.

Hattusa is an ancient city located in north-central Turkey, near the modern town of Boğazkale in Çorum Province. It lies within the Central Anatolian Plateau, surrounded by rolling hills, rocky ridges, and fertile valleys. Today, Hattusa is an archaeological site rather than a living city, but it remains one of the most important ancient capitals in the history of Anatolia and the Near East.
