Informations supplémentaires

There are more than 100 underground cities in Cappadocia, 37 of them are open. In some cases they are really huge, in some of them, once upon a time, more than 10.000 could live inside for periods of several months. The most "touristic" ones, are those of Derinkuyu (in greek, "Μαλακωπή"= "Malakopi") and Kaymakli, well organized, with good lighting, and quite easy to cross. Even Derinkuyu and Kaymakli, are not suggested to those who suffer from claustrophobia, there are some really narrow tunnels to pass, if you want to go down 5 "floors". The huge, round stone that you see in this picture (normally used in windmills or watermills) was used to block the entrance in case an invader discovered and entered the underground city, and there were many more, isolating on "floor" from the other.
