Cappadocia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The old name given to the ancient region in the central part of Anatolia, north of the Taurus Mountains and on the rugged plateau in the K\u0131z\u0131l\u0131rmak arc. \u00c7orum, Yozgat, Sivas, Malatya, Kayseri, Nev\u015fehir, K\u0131r\u015fehir, Ni\u011fde, Aksaray and some of the provinces of Amasya, Tokat, Kahramanmara\u015f, Ad\u0131yaman, Adana and Konya were included.<\/p>\n

Cappadocia<\/a> region is a place where nature and history are integrated. While geographical events constituted the Fairy Chimneys, in the historical process, people carved houses and churches into these fairy chimneys, decorating them with frescoes and carried the traces of thousands of years of civilization to the present day. The written history of Cappadocia, where human settlements date back to the Paleolithic period, begins with the Hittites. Cappadocia, which has hosted trade colonies throughout history and established a commercial and social bridge between countries, is one of the important crossroads of the Silk Road.<\/p>\n

Cappadocia Beyond Dreams Fairy Chimneys<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here is a refuge for the early Christians, is an open-air museum full of unequal natural and cultural elements.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The Cappadocia region is located in the middle of the once active volcanic region of Central Anatolia. Three of the mountains millions of years ago – Erciyes, Hasanda\u011f and G\u00fcll\u00fcda\u011f – were active volcanoes; in fact, this activity continued intermittently, at least until the Neolithic period, according to prehistoric tables.<\/p>\n

Volcanic eruptions were so strong that in some places the lava was up to 150 m thick. For millions of years, volcanoes, wind, rain and ice have shaped the region we now know as Cappadocia<\/a>. While the landscape was eroding, basalt stones remained, and some formed conical structures that reached up to 45 meters.<\/p>\n

Locals have expressed these unique rock formations “fairy chimneys”, a name that has been going on for ages. If nature were the first artist to organize the d\u00e9cor, he was the Anatolian man who carved the rocks and built houses, churches and more than 250 underground cities for centuries.<\/p>\n
