Cappadoccia

Cappadoccia means kind and loving land. The ancient region of Cappadoccia lies in Central Anatolia, between the cities of Nevsehir, Kayseri and Nigde. It is such a beautiful scenery. Combining unique natural features with a fascinating cultural and historical past, the traveler finds one of the most fantastic landscapes in the world. Hittites, Byzantines and early Christians established important landmarks here, as did Mother Nature. Wind and weather have eroded soft volcanic rock from the now extinct volcanoes Erciyes, Hasandagi and Golludag into hundreds of strangely shaped pillars, cones and "fairy chimneys", often very tall, and in every shade from pink through yellow to russet browns. Goreme is the heart of Cappadoccia and is an important area for shopping, with its wonderful carpets and kilims, onyx souvenirs, and very fine local wines. It is also a wonderful region for trekking and for photo-safaris. The scenery is breathtaking in all four seasons: miniature poppies in the springtime, the fruit and flowers of summertime, autumn's grapes and blaze of gold, and the winter blanket of snow. Also in this region are a number of underground cities which were used by Christians as places to retreat to and live in until danger from their enemies had passed. For Request Form Please Click Here
