2006.05.08_Caravanserai and Fairy Chimneys







After Yaprakhisar, the tour bus took us to a pottery shop. HC had his chance to try out pottery making using the turntable. He made nothing but a donut shape mold. A brief stop at the nearby Agzikarahan Caravanserai. The ancient complex was built in the 11th century as a travel establishment for Silk Road caravans.

Lastly, the bus brought us to the final destination, which was a site full of fairy chimneys. The guide Shalif described the formation of those mushroom-like rock towers as a product of volcanic actions and rain erosion. Surreal curvatures under the late afternoon sun. A photogenic place it was.
