After a fantastic evening at the 'Hotel of Caves' - literally built into the cliffs, drinking beer and watching the lightening strike over the rocky hills opposite the town of Goreme;
Another long day (500+km) from Goreme to Mount Nemrut took us over seven 2000m passes, and we spent the majority of the day at an altitude of +1000m. Below is 'Erciyes Dagi' (3917m) the highest mountain in the range;
The scenery through the mountain range was pretty awesome, although the peak temperature hit 42 centegrade;
We then climbed for an hour an a half to our accomodation just below the summit of Mount Nemrut;
6 Turkish Lira allows us up to the summit;
