Snowshoe Through Cappadocia

By Pat Yale

Step lively through Cappadocia's rock formations

Magical in summer, the Cappadocian landscape becomes even more wondrous when its cones and crevasses are blanketed in deep snow. In winter, Kirkit Voyage in Avanos leads snowshoe-wearing groups around the villages. Most nights you stay with local families, but the last is spent in a converted monastery in Guzelyurt, where you dine off long tables in the refectory like the long-gone Greek monks before you. You can contact Kirkit at kirkit@wec.net.com.tr.
