Antioche ( Antakya into Turkish) is located in an enclave belonging to the Syrians before.
However, we are not any more in the Arab countries. We clearly approach Europe.

Ankara :
                
              We stop only in the museum of civilizations ...
                Cléobule always has an important success

Cappadoce : the valley of Ihlara

The village is always used. The old houses are used today as sheep-folds.


                
To protect itself from the Muslims, the Christians built true underground cities. Some could reach 10 stages
in-depth. We visit those of Derinkuyu and Kaymakli. A clever system containing large wheels made it possible
to be locked up interior.

Cat :
  
Cat is a valley of Cappadoce where we find the most beautiful pigeon nests of the area. The entries are painted so
that the birds can recognize their nests...
  

  
It is also spring for the turtles. There is everywhere. We organize a race. Pollux encourages his.
