TRAVEL
CAPPADOCIA
The Fairy tale
of the nature started million years ago with volcanoes. Then wind, rain and the
temperature differences started to give shape to the region and humans added the
meaning and spirit. Region was one of the important sights of the Mother Goddess
“Kybele” and just like a mother; the region accepted all people who sought
refuge. Especially early Christians used this place as a shelter because
its nature caves and underground cities date back to the Hittites. This
region is the perfect place where you can see various types of natural
environment, history and art. Frescoes of the cave-churches, underground cities,
bird nests, valleys and fairy chimneys are first things to remember but also
cave-hotels, hiking in the valleys and Hot air Ballooning are the other
attractive reasons to come here. Cappadocia accepts guests
in all seasons because each season changes the face of Cappadocia and with our
professional help, everything will be simply “stunning”.
