Cappadocia Turkey Holidays

Cappadocia is located in the centre of Turkey, between the Black Sea in the north and the Taurus Mountains, between the capital Ankara and Malatya. It’s a popular holiday destination with spectacular natural rock formations and valleys, Goreme National Park, is strewn with underground cities, stone chapels, monasteries and dwellings since 400 BC.
The Valley of Fairy Chimneys is the most popular destination, within the triangle formed by the three main towns of the region, Avanos, Urgup and Nevsehir. The Ilhara Canyon is another religious hideaway with more than 100 painted churches and about 4,000 dwellings carved into the rock walls or concealed within the cliffs; its river bed and lush vegetation stand in stark contrast to the dusty, seemingly barren land above.


Cave dwellings, ancient monasteries and painted chapels are well camouflaged, with entranceways that are barely noticeable among a landscape of perforated cliff walls and rock fissures. Houses of volcanic stone blend unobtrusively into the natural surroundings, pigmented in natural shades of ochre and yellow, to pinks, greys and greens, and many people still inhabit the cones and chimney formations. In tourist towns such as Goreme, delightful little hotels and pensions are built partially into the rock or are housed within a rock cone and offer cave-style rooms.
