Cappadocia 14031

Our last stop in Cappadocia was the old town of Mustafapasha. Once a Christian town, it was converted to Islam, and residents were given the option to either convert or leave. Today it is a modern town with nice shops and restaurants, and the old relics serve as tourist attractions.

 

These are old Greek buildings that are still intact. Perhaps these old buildings are maintained so European tourists can relate to them – I don’t know! But looking at the people in the area, they seem pretty cosmopolitan, so these are not just for tourists, I think.
