Cappadocia is a fairy tale land in the middle of Anatolia. It is
a land in which history, architecture, nature and scenery have
been blended in perfect proportions. Cappadocia, “Land of
Beautiful Horses” in the ancient Persian tongue, is the oldest
heart of the world. This is why everyone who comes here falls in
love with it. This is why it loves everyone who comes to it.
This place is a blend, a mixture. It has inspired every
community that came here, tirelessly carryıing and keeping their
works to pass them on to the future.
This is why there's a message to the future from all those who
came here.
Cappadocians, Persians, Byzantines, Seljuk Turks, Hittites,
Phrygians, Greeks, Armenians and Ottomans lived in Cappadocia.
All those who came here worked to build themselves a new world.
They carved the rocks, adorned the stones, built churches,
chapels, and temples. They built houses, streets and cities.
They put human love into every detail.They even built homes for
pigeons in the speechless rocks. And this is when the rocks
began to speak to nature itself.
The region enjoys a beauty created not only by the hand of man,
but mainly by nature. Rocks composed of various minerals and
metals were eroded due to climatic conditions and movements of
the earth. Valleys, canyons, nature-sculptured rock statues and
fairy chimneys came into being.
This is why people come here not only for a holiday, but also to
see, to learn and to touch the traces of the past. Every spot is
mysterious, and rich with history.
Even from the same spot, you can never take the same picture
twice, because Cappadocia is always changing and mysterious.
