Turkey Travel Destinations - Cappadocia
Cappadocia is Persian for the '' the land of the beautiful horses'' .It is an enchanting open air museum and an unparaleled example of the common cultural and natural heritage of humanity.
Situated within the region of Nevsehir ,Urgup and Avanos, the area is bounded by Erciyes ( 3916 m high) in the east and by HasandaÄŸ (3253 m high) in the south both once active volcanic mountains.
At the time that Anatolia was completing its geographical evolution, these volcanic eruptions were so strong that the lava in some places was up to 100 m thick.
Over millions of years volcanoes , wind , rain and ice sculpted what we know as the decor of Cappadocia.
Nature was the first to arrange the decor, but the Anatolian man carved the rocks and built numerous churches and underground cities during the early times of Christianity.
