”Traveling is like dreaming with your eyes open.

In our case, the stranger in the Icelandic bar was definitely right, because every visit to Cappadocia is the entrance to a dream world.
It is a place full of magic and beauty, with extraordinary landscapes and a rich cultural history. Located in the middle of Turkey, the province is characterized by bizarre rock formations and is famous for underground cities and breathtaking balloon rides. In the magic of this magical environment we were able to experience an unforgettable elopement.
Warmth, friendliness and a deep attachment to the traditions and values of the country characterize the people of this region. To put it more briefly, drinking Çay while eating delicious dishes together have made us look behind the common clichés in no time. Thanks to Melda’s & Ufuk’s connections, we were allowed to break through the tourist barrier and got to know Turkey a bit more genuinely. Together with Melda’s Turkish cousin Vildan, we explored all the small and large wonders that Cappadocia has to offer travelers.
We get up early. Very early, because we want to be there long before sunrise. But Melda & Ufuk got up even earlier, because Ufuk is at the barber and Melda is also still optimizing hair and make-up. I wonder if it’s hard to go to the hairdresser at night in Cappadocia? Not at all, because the whole region is set for wedding couples.
Just before sunrise, the hot air balloons begin to take off. The hot and bright fire creates a magical atmosphere in the still dark and cold morning. As soon as the sun rises above the horizon, hundreds of hot air balloons have risen, transforming the dream world once again. We are convinced that we were able to capture much of this magic in pictures.
That is why an elopement in Cappadocia is a truly unforgettable experience. This enchanting landscape not only celebrates the beauty of nature, but also the deep love between two people. Cappadocia will forever be a place that touches the hearts and will be remembered with a smile every time you look at the wonderful pictures.
