Güzelyurt

by Günther Eichhorn
Güzelyurt has a pretty amazing underground city. I went down one level, then my claustrophobia took a hold and I had top get back out. You climb down through narrow shafts, with steps cut out of the walls. There is also a nice rock-cut Byzantine church in Güzelyurt with nice ceiling paintings.
