For a fairytale Valentine’s Day, the Cappadocia region of Turkey is truly otherworldly and beautiful. Away from the bustling city of Istanbul, colorful hot air balloons float above the “fairy chimneys.” These tall, cone-shaped rock formations stand in Monks Valley, Göreme.

Meanwhile, carved into the valley walls are Bronze Age homes, occupied by troglodytes in the past and also as refuges by early Christians. Meanwhile, in Ihlara Canyon, many rock-face churches are to be found. Take remarkable selfies with a background of these wonders, or better yet, take a flight in one of the hot air balloons for a magical landscape below you.

Whichever destination you choose, have a beautifully romantic Valentine’s Day in 2023.
