Cappadocia

Unique Formation of Cappadocia

---

The unique geography of Cappadocia, whose history dates back millions of years and is believed to have started from the I. Paleolithic Age, offers us the opportunity to visit an open-air museum tour of almost square kilometers in today's Turkey. The Cappadocia region, which is of great importance in terms of the history of Christianity and civilization as well as the importance of its geographical formation, takes its name from the word KATPATUKA. This word meant Land of Beautiful Horses in ancient Persian language.

Our cities within the borders of the Cappadocia Region, located in the Central Anatolian region of our country, are the cities of Kayseri Niğde, Nevşehir Aksaray and Kırşehir. However, the region we call Central Cappadocia can be narrowed down based on the cities of Nevşehir and Kayseri.

The region where the fairy chimney forms are most intense is the Nevşehir region and today many guests know the Cappadocia region only as Nevşehir province, but the reality and history are different from this.

If you happen to be in Cappadocia, please do not leave without visiting the caravanserais, madrasas, mosques and churches in this civilization geography.
