点评:I am only giving it one star to bring attention to wild dogs in the valley. there is not a single sign warning you about this. I hiked from Uchisar to Goreme through the valley, gorgeous nature. Absolutely stunning. Up until my experience was completely ruined by the appearance of a pack of wild aggressive dogs that growled and ran towards me with obviously bad intentions. So this is what I did and I would give the same advice to everybody who would find themselves in the same situation. I kept walking very calmly without showing the dogs that I am intimidated. I didn’t make any eye contact, didn’t stop, just kept on walking calmly ….at some point when they surrounded me and growling really hard and one of them (the most aggressive one) almost touched me with its teeth I just, said with very firm and commanding voice “go away”. i’m fully aware they don’t understand the words, but the intonation they understand, showing that u are not being intimidated and commanding voice helps. They let me pass through without biting me or attacking me. I kept on walking calmly without turning my head even. when I guesstimated they’re not in sight I started running to get to Goreme faster. Very terrifying experience, never doing it again…. actually I don’t think I’m ever gonna come back to Cappadocia and I will warn everyone I know about it. I have a decent following on instagram, a lot of them are travelers, and I will make sure to spread the word. The tourist income will suffer if we let the world know and the authorities will have to do something about it. Shame on Turkish government.
翻译:我只给它一颗星,以引起人们对山谷中野狗的注意。没有一个标志警告你这一点。我从乌奇萨徒步到格雷梅穿过山谷,自然风光秀丽。绝对令人惊叹。直到我的体验被一群野狗的出现彻底破坏了,它们咆哮着向我跑来,明显怀有恶意。所以这就是我所做的,我会给每个遇到同样情况的人同样的建议。我一直非常平静地走着,没有让狗看到我被吓到了。我没有和它们眼神接触,也没有停下来,只是继续平静地走着……在某个时候,它们围着我,大声咆哮,其中一只(最具攻击性的)几乎用牙齿碰到了我,我只是用非常坚定和命令的语气说“走开”。我完全知道它们听不懂这些话,但它们听懂了语调,表明你没有被吓到,命令的语气很有帮助。它们让我过去,没有咬我或攻击我。我继续平静地走着,甚至没有回头。当我估计他们不在视线范围内时,我开始奔跑,以便更快地到达格雷梅。非常可怕的经历,再也不会这样做了……事实上,我想我永远不会再回到卡帕多西亚了,我会警告我认识的每个人。我在 Instagram 上有很多粉丝,其中很多人都是旅行者,我一定会传播这个消息。如果我们让全世界知道,旅游收入将受到影响,当局将不得不采取措施。土耳其政府真可耻。
