           The region

 


of Cappadocia
                                         




 extends from Nevşehir to Kırşehir, Niğde, Aksaray and Kayseri in southern Turkey. The region has been firstly formed as a soft layer form 60 million years ago by the ashes and the lava blown and spread out from Erciyes mountain and the mountains of Hasandağı and Güllüdağ and continuously has been transformed throughout millions of years by the natural works of rain and wind. The region is a place where nature and history merge together that also includes the fairy chimneys in the region formed by various geographical activities. During the process, the various peoples who lived in the region throughout history have built houses, churches and frescoes in the structures and brought traces of their civilizations till today. Cappadocia, which has been home to many different civilizations also has been an important trade-route having been placed among the most significant intersections of the Silk Road.

           Cappadocia can be reached via air-travel from Istanbul approximately in an hour. You can arrive either at Nevşehir or Kayseri airport and easily transport to Cappadocia from there. for this  j give thanks to
