Uchisar

Another town in Cappadocia, Uçhisar is situated at the highest point in the region just 7km from Nevşehir. The rock castle of Uçhisar can be seen for miles away. The cave dwellings inside this rock used to be the most populated area of Uçhisar. However, as the danger caused by erosion became greater, people moved away. The last residents left in the 1950s. The top of the castle provides a magnificent panorama of the surrounding area.

Ortahisar

Ortahisar means “middle castle” and as its name implies, it is central among the Cappadocian towns of Goreme in central Turkey. Its most pronounced structure is the castle of Ortahisar situated at a 86 meter (282 ft) high cave. The castle has been used strategically and for accommodation. The caste has partly crumbled away revealing some of its interior. Today it has been restored and the peak is accessible by a staircase.

Sassi di Matera

The Sassi di Matera (“stones of Matera”) are cave dwellings situated in the old town of Matera in southern Italy. The Sassi originate from a prehistoric settlement, and are among the first human settlements in Italy. Many of the houses, which are dug into the tufa rock, are really only caverns, and the streets in some parts of the Sassi often are located on the rooftops of other houses.

In the 1950s, the government forcefully relocated most of the population of the Sassi to areas of the developing modern city. However, some people continued to live in the Sassi just as their ancestors of 9,000 years ago.

Look at this salad! 🍉✨🥒It starts with a base of cold, creamy herbed yogurt sauce. Then, we top it with cubed ripe watermelon, followed by crisp cucumber, lightly pickled shallot, and more fresh basil and mint. Each element is so simple to prepare, and the end result is spectacular.😍

Bamiyan

Bamiyan in central Afghanistan is famous for two gigantic statues of standing buddhas carved into the side of a cliff. Created in the 6th century, they were the world’s tallest standing statue of Buddha. The statues were destroyed by the Taliban in March 2001, on the grounds that they were an affront to Islam.

The cave dwellings at the foot of the statues, which at one time housed thousand of monks, were used by Taliban for storing weapons. After the Taliban were driven from the region by American troops, civilians made their homes in the caves. Many of the caves have remains of painted frescos. In 2008 a 19 meter (62 ft) reclining Buddha was discovered near the ruins of the Bamiyan buddhas

Matmata

Matmata is a small village in southern Tunisia. Some of the local Berber residents live in traditional underground “troglodyte” dwellings. These cave dwellings are created by digging a large pit in the ground.

Around the perimeter of this pit caves are then dug to be used as rooms. These homes were made famous by serving as the location of the home of Luke Skywalker and his aunt and uncle Lars. The Hotel Sidi Driss was actually the Lars Homestead and is the must-stay location in Matmata for any Star Wars fanatics.
