Even in a country as captivating as Turkey, Cappadocia stands out. This enchanting region sits between Nevsehir, Nigde, and Aksaray and is full of wonders you can find nowhere else on earth. That’s why Cappadocia tourism is such a big draw for visitors from across the globe. Read on, to discover just what makes this such a popular destination.
Cappadocia is found in the Anatolian region of Turkey and geography is perhaps its biggest asset. Millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions, lava flows, and flooding rivers cut through the mountainous landscape. All of this erosion resulted in rock formations that are now called fairy chimneys.
You’ll experience continental climate on your visit to Cappadocia, with hot summers, warm winters, some rainfall and sufficient snowfall too. The region itself lies over thousand metres above sea level and experiences all four seasons — summer, winter, autumn and spring.
This is one of the most ancient inhabited places ever, so culture is deep rooted and important. Some of its most important facets are the ‘whirling dervishes’ of Sufism, while the others come from remnants of every kingdom that arrived, ruled and went including the ancient Hittite inhabitants, the Persian empire, Roman era, Christian and Byzantine periods all the way to modern day Turkey. Cappadocia tours are all about culture as much as the surreal landscape and its many thrilling activities.
Cappadocia tours are perfect for every traveller, whether you’re a couple looking for romance and adventure, families in search of new experiences together or friends seeking the ultimate group escapade.
The highlight activity is most definitely the hot air balloon experience which is so much more beautiful in real life than the wallpapers you’ve seen before.
But the region is a hotbed of activity — ATV riding, tours of the underground cities, trekking around the Ilhara Valley, sightseeing and more.
