Love Valley and Underground cities

Can you guess why it is called Love Valley?

Villages built underground refuges to keep safe from marauding Hittites, Seljuks, and miscellaneous invaders over the centuries.

  1. Very interesting look on your face among the pillars of stone in Love Valley. Will your balloon ride fly over the valley?

    1. No balloon flight due to weather. My first balloon flight will have to wait for another time and place.

  5. Thank you for all your comments. We have a travel day today heading to Izmir. Tomorrow will be a full day at Ephesus and then we begin our walk on the Lycian Way. We have had rain the last three days which is unheard of this time of year but very much needed. The forecast looks good for our walk however.

  6. Ellen logged onto your blog but could not leave you a note - here is her message: Please let Bev know I am technologically challenged, but very interested in her adventures and looking forward to her return so we can talk instead of using foreign technology, which I am incapable of conquering! Love, Ellen
