Pigeons have been used for thousands of years for communication. They weren't just for guano.
Hey Gabriel, I always told you to go to turkey for the natural beauty! I smart the Danube delta- it's spectacular!
Go to pammukkale-gorgeous. But sadly it's disappearing.
Gabriel there is a lot of Greece in Cappadocia too! The name of the Turkish city of "Goreme" for example is just a Turkish version of the name of the ancient Greek city that was standing at the very same location and it was called "Korama"! No matter how hard the Turkish authorities are trying to wipe out everything Greek – or deliberately call it "Roman" – there is ample evidence of the Greek millennial presence and culture all over Asia Minor / Anatolia, for the perceptive eye!
The temple/church i.e. that you are visiting at 14:45 seems Greek. The Greeks were living for centuries in Cappadocia's cave-houses. There are still many beautiful Greek christian cave-churches in Cappadocia – although heavily vandalized by the Turks most of them.
Amazing place, brilliantly presented video, went with you on this most interesting excursion….what a pleasure…
Καππαδοκία
Hi Gabriel, well technically it isn't Greece any longer, but it did at one time belong to Greece before towards the end of 1920 the Otterman empire began to fade. The Treaty of Sevres shows a map of how the Country of Turkey was divided up.
Excellent work… I think all those weird holes are for ventilation or light?
Goreme is fascinating. Whenever I revisit, I got to check out the surrounding towns.
No Greece, no watch Turky video.. enough turky
If pigeon roosts start to get rented out to stay in, I might just sign up.
Hey Gabriel, I have a Singha beer tank top also that I got in Thailand. Funny all those spots for pigeons to roost and not one pigeon there.
It’s nothing great. How can you compare this to islands in Asia?
Maybe I missed something?
Did the blue and red bus tours?
But not the $200 balloon could see the balloons from
My hotel
But then again you thought paharganj was paradise and the tenderloin was cool.
I just visited cappadoccia Antalya and Istanbul recently and even pammukale
Istanbul I agree is a great city but not not as great as nyc or London or Paris or Bangkok or Hong Kong
Has anyone been to Okee-doccia? 😆
The temple doesn't look Roman in style, so I think it may pre-date the Romans.
Gabe this was incredible!! My mum is now hooked on your videos too! Hugs xxx

Anatolia (Anadolu, Türkiye) belonged to the Roman Empire, at its height (c. 117 CE), it was the most extensive political and social structure in western civilization. By 285 CE the empire had grown too vast to be ruled from the central government at Rome and so was divided by Emperor Diocletian (r. 284-305 CE) into a Western and an Eastern Empire. The Roman Empire began when Augustus Caesar (r. 27 BCE-14 CE) became the first emperor of Rome and ended, in the west, when the last Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus (r. 475-476 CE), was deposed by the Germanic King Odoacer (r. 476-493 CE). In the east, it continued as the Byzantine Empire until the death of Constantine XI (r. 1449-1453 CE) and the fall of Constantinople to the OTTOMAN TURKS in 1453 CE. Cappa, in latin, means cape and docia, God's gift.
I understand why you do it, because its just convenient and it allows you to show more things in your videos, but I prefer travelling videos with public transport. Taking trains and busses is just more entertaining, both to watch and to do myself. First of all its more of an adventure because things do not always go to plan, or are perhaps difficult to figure out. It invokes more of the "travel sensation" or vibe if you like. Also, especially when traveling alone, public transport is always the place where you meet the most weird and wonderful people, because you are in an enviroment where you naturally interact with others. With just renting a car and driving there, it takes away a bit of the magic, also its its probably harder to film because, you know, you got to drive it. With traveling its always just as much about the way as the destination. Look, I like this video, but for me its only half complete. The way how you get there is half the fun. This is just boom! Tunesia, boom! Istanbul, boom! Cappadocia without the actual traveling
Gabriel, when are you going to show us northern Spain and Galicia?
