This is a must-try pottery jar dish in Cappadocia, called Pottery Kebabi, and its Turkish name is Testi Kebabi. We have only seen this dish in Cappadocia, not in other cities. This dish looks very local, but it is actually tomato and vegetable stewed with meat cubes, usually chicken or beef. The method is to put the fresh ingredients into this clay pot, and then put the whole pot into the oven. This method can seal the original flavor of the food in the pot. These two dishes, one is chicken and the other is beef, they taste delicious!

Cappadocia is not only about hot air balloons, there is also a small town that I will never forget - Avanos. The streets are lined with reddish-brown pottery workshops, and the air is filled with the aroma of dried soil. I walked into an old pottery shop. The owner, a master craftsman with a snow-white beard, smiled and invited me to sit on the turntable and experience the traditional pottery-making technique with my own hands. When your hands touch the moist red clay, you seem to be touching the artistic soul that has been passed down for thousands of years as you turn it. Pick up a handful of soil in Avanos and mold the soul of Cappadocia. The history of pottery in Avanos can be traced back to the Hittite period. The town's red clay is taken from the Kızılırmak River that runs through the town. This is the longest river in Turkey and also gave birth to this pottery city. Walking along the old street, you may encounter artists creating works on site at every corner. The colorful pottery fills the walls, like a picture frozen in time. This is not just a place for shopping, but also a way of traveling to slow down and create with your hands. If you also like places full of warmth and stories, Avanos is definitely worth staying for a whole afternoon.

The itinerary was mainly based on the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea in winter, so we did not arrange a self-driving trip on D400, and naturally we also gave up the towns of Fethiye and Kaş. Considering that Istanbul Airport was far away, I flew directly to Izmir after entering the country. All four domestic legs were flights. Fortunately, except for the last leg which was delayed for more than an hour, there were no overbooking or cancellations as I had seen in the guidebook. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Tickets are only accepted in lira, in cash or by card. I only used some Euros to buy things at Istanbul Airport. 4️⃣I rented a car from Sixt in Izmir and Kayseri. It was a good experience with no problems. Just be aware that there are two parking buildings at Izmir Airport. When renting a car, you must ask which parking building to return the car to. It is like a maze inside and is not easy to find. 5️⃣ Common supermarkets include Sok, BIM, A101, and Migros. If you see them, you can go in and buy supplies. You can also buy souvenir snacks, chocolates, etc. in these supermarkets. 🌡️ Temperature and outfit In mid-to-late January, Izmir and Antalya are around 10 degrees, so thick sweatshirts and coats are enough. Istanbul is 7-8 degrees and windy, so you need to wear a hat when taking a boat. Goreme is a bit colder, around 0 degrees, so a down jacket will do, but it won’t feel as cold as Beijing. The city guides are being updated one after another. If you have any questions, you can leave a message at any time.
