Known as the land of beautiful running horses, marvellous fairy chimnies and rock churches, Cappadocia covers an area of 4000 km2 and incorporates the provinces of Aksaray, Nevsehir, Nigde, Kirsehir & Kayseri but for most of the people it reminds the towns and vincinities of Uchisar, Goreme, Avanos, Urgup, underground cities and Ihlara Valley. Its easy to travel between the highlights of the region. Just to let you know; the Turkish name of Cappadocia is ''Kapadokya''. Cappadocia is the area where Mother
Nature painstakingly worked miracles that defy the imagination and
where the living elements of 10 million years of history, culture,
art, society are inextricably linked . Goreme Open Air Museum and National Park constitutes an exceptional collection of churches built in the 11th Century during the golden age of the Macedonian Dynasty, today preserved as it is one of the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Zelve Open Air Museum; was founded on the steep northern slopes of Aktepe. Consisting of three separate valleys, the ruins of Zelve is the area with the most 'fairy chimneys' - a famous sight special to Cappadocia - which here have sharp points and thick trunks. It is not known exactly when people began living in the dwellings carved into the rock, found in places like Uchisar, Goreme, Cavusin and Zelve. What is known is that Zelve was an important Christian community and religious centre in the 9th and 13th centuries, where, the first religious seminars for priests were held in the vicinity. Cavusin the abondoned village with the first known church of St. John Babtist and Uchisar Rock Castle is also worth visiting. Besides all its breath taking natural beauty, Cappadocia is also very famous with quality Carpet & Kilim weaving and ceramics producing traditions...
