Located in the central Anatolia region of Turkey, the charming Cappadocia is one of the most fascinating cities created by both nature and man.

The UNESCO World Heritage City is known for its uniqueness and strangeness: it includes underground cities, mountain-sculpted churches, ancient underground settlements, magnificent houses carved in the rocks, and a magnificent mountain view formed by volcanic eruptions and erosion over thousands of years.

Volcanic ash has previously covered the entire region, and over time has turned into thick porous rocks that have vertical, cone, toothed, and mushroom-like structures. In these solid formations, the man dug houses, mysterious tunnels, churches, stores, rooms, and stables, giving the Cappadocia a unique character that fascinates and amazes visitors.

Cappadocia is one of the most important tourist destinations in Turkey for those interested in history and ancient civilizations, as it includes a group of areas and monuments dating back to different eras and civilizations such as the Persians, Greeks and Armenians.

Among the most important historical monuments that Cappadocia includes are chimneys of goblins in Goreme, the hidden underground city of Derinkuyu, and the Zulfi Museum, which includes a group of ancient buildings and churches.

Cappadocia is also famous for its thermal balloons, which is the most important tourist activity in it, and tourists come to Cappadocia specifically to experience riding these balloons and flying them in the sky and looking at the picturesque nature below or taking the most beautiful memorial photos.
