When you are Cappadocia, one thing you will see a lot of is pottery. In specific, red clay pottery which comes from the town of Avanos.
I took this picture walking up to the Goreme Open hill museum. As it was such a steep climb, I was tempted to get in a car and drive up there but I am now glad I didn’t.
The Pottery Tree of Cappadocia
On the walk up to the museum is so many sights to see that you would miss if driving up the hill. There is the horse safari ranch, the camels, the traditional tea shop, the cave restaurant and of course this pottery tree.
If ever there was an argument for using your own two feet then this is it. The Goreme Open air museum is located a 30 minute walk from the center of Goreme (it is not far but I am taking into account that it is up a steep hill).
If you are staying in the towns of Uchisar or Urgup, then I strongly recommend going by bus and getting off in Goreme. That way, you can take in the important sights that you would otherwise miss if going by car.
Love this shot! It brings back memories of walking by the very same tree and its pottery. I loved Cappadocia and agree that it’s really nice to walk around Goreme so you can see what’s really there!
Hey Natalie, That’s pretty unique tree. In here, we hang lights on trees for Christmas so to see pottery hanging form it it’s very interesting. Nice shot with beautiful blue sky too!
@Lisa. Glad you had seen the tree as well. I feel there are not enough words to describe the area and how beautiful it is.
@Sarah. That a great compliment coming from an expert photographer like yourself. Thank you very much.
Never seen this type of tree….
Its a normal tree Delhi Hotels. When I spotted it though, it was not bearing any leaves.
Yeah I know, But someone who create this doesn’t know that his tree become popular one day….
Yeah, I never thought of it that way. Who ever put all those pots there, didn’t think his tree would be shown on blogs. Good point
Awww, thank you Natalie. You’re so sweet!
