Cappadocia

Cappadocia is one of the world's most surreal and enchanting landscapes, known for its fairytale scenery of peculiar rock formations known as "fairy chimneys." These unique tuff cone structures were formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago.

The region is famous for its spectacular hot air balloon rides at sunrise, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the valleys and unique rock formations. This magical experience has become one of Turkey's most iconic tourist activities.

Throughout history, locals carved houses, churches and monasteries into these soft rocks. Today, you can explore numerous underground cities where early Christians once hid from Roman persecution.
