Embrace Timeless Beauty, Unearth Magical History: Discover Cappadocia in Nevşehir, Türkiye!
Nevşehir is undoubtedly the first city that comes to mind when travellers think of visiting the Cappadocia region. Cappadocia has a unique geography that had been shaped by natural forces. Millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions from nearby mountains (active volcanoes back then) enveloped the region in lava and thick ash, which solidified into a type of soft rock called tuff. This thick layer of tuff was slowly eroded by wind and water, resulting in the creation of cones, pillars, mushroom-shaped pinnacles and chimneys. In time, humans settling in the area added to nature’s creations and carved an incredible chamber and tunnel complex into the soft rock. They built caves, living quarters, places of worship, and even stables.
