A geological peculiarity, world heritage site and area of
exceptional natural wonders, the fairy tale landscapes of
Cappadocia fire the imagination like nowhere else in Turkey.
A fascinating history, and topography of honeycombed hills,
unfathomably large boulders , and rock formations define this area
of Anatolia in central Turkey. Thousands of years ago,
people carved a tunnel and chamber complex into the soft rock and
in the 4th century, an underground urbanisation
was created here. The landscape is a honeycomb of man
made caves, places to live, work, and worship. Entire towns
were formed by tunnel complexes.
There are many popular attractions in Cappadocia such as fresco
adorned churches chiselled out of rock, fairy chimneys, as well as
the open air museum in Goreme. Subterranean cities of Kaymakli and
rock fortress of Ortahisar are also among the most visited sites in
Capadoccia.
Many of Cappadocia's troglodyte structures are still used as
dwellings, and the cave hotels of this area offer the opportunity
to experience cave dwelling, 21st century style. A truly
unique hospitality experience.
