In the afternoon we went to Derinkuyu, an underground city where Christians hid out from their enemies. They were a labyrinth of tunnels at least 8 floors deep connecting stables, kitchens, wells, sleeping rooms, ventilation shafts, everything! At one point up to 20,000 people lived there.

Pasbag has some of the best fairy chimneys in Cappadocia. We really enjoyed exploring there, especially the house where we had to climb a ladder then through a 2m long hole in the roof to get up to the next level.

Dinner was in a cave, we sat around the outside with a stage in the middle. While we ate and drank, Turkish dancers preformed. There were Whirling Dervishes, traditional Turkish Dancers, and belly dancers. Male belly dancers are just wrong! First of all men shouldn’t wear eye liner, let alone jiggle their bellies in public wearing sheer material.
