[Underground city] The great labyrinth! Derinkuyu, like an ant's nest🇹🇷

📍Derinkuyu Underground City Bayramlı, Niğde Cd., 50700 Derinkuyu/Nevşehir, Turkey I took a bus to the underground ruins of the city of Derinkuyu. There is another underground city called Kaymakli, but I decided to go further away because I heard that it was overflowing with people from tours. At first, it was difficult to even move forward because of the large number of tour guests, but once the waves passed, I was able to calmly look around. Derinkuyu Underground City can be visited up to the 8th floor underground, and even though it is underground, it is a real city with living space, wineries, food storage, reservoirs, and even schools! The many passages that are spread out like a maze are just like an ant's nest. Many of the passages required bending down to move through, so my back hurts 💧 #AbsolutelyFreeTravel
