History
Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey, has been shaped by volcanic activity and erosion over millions of years, creating its iconic fairy chimneys, rock formations, and valleys. Inhabited since the Hittite era (circa 1200 BCE), it became a refuge for early Christians in the Byzantine period, who carved churches, monasteries, and homes into the soft tuff rock.
Sites like the Göreme Open Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserve 10th-century frescoes, while Uçhisar’s rock-cut castle and Avanos’ pottery tradition reflect Cappadocia’s rich blend of natural beauty, ancient history, and cultural craftsmanship.
Highlights
- Explore the Göreme Open Air Museum with its ancient rock-cut churches.
- Marvel at the fairy chimneys and panoramic views in Love Valley.
- Visit Pasabag (Monks Valley) to see unique rock formations and hermit caves.
- Discover Avanos’ pottery-making heritage with a workshop visit.
- Enjoy a guided tour with a multilingual expert and a delicious lunch.
