Things to do in Turkey:
Cappadocia (pronounced /kæpəˈdoʊʃə/; also
Capadocia; Turkish Kapadokya, from Greek: Καππαδοκία /
Kappadokía, Armenian: Կապադովկիա, Persian: کاپادوکیه - "Land of
Beautiful Horses") is a region in central Turkey, largely in
Nevşehir Province.
The name was traditionally used in Christian sources throughout
history and is still widely used as an international tourism
concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in
particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique
historical and cultural heritage. The term, as used in tourism,
roughly corresponds to present-day Nevşehir Province...
Cappadocia lies in eastern Anatolia, in the center of what is
now Turkey. The relief consists of a high plateau over 1000m in
altitude that is pierced by volcanic peaks, with Mount Erciyes
(ancient Argaeus) near Kayseri (ancient Caesarea) being the
tallest at 3916 m. The boundaries of historical Cappadocia are
vague, particularly towards the west. To the south, the Taurus
Mountains form the boundary with Cilicia and separate Cappadocia
from the Mediterranean Sea...
Cappadocia contains several underground cities (see Kaymaklı
Underground City), largely used by early Christians as hiding
places before they became an accepted religion...
The area is a famous and popular tourist destination, as it has
many areas with unique geological, historic and cultural
features.
The Cappadocia region is largely underlain by sedimentary rocks
formed in lakes and streams, and ignimbrite deposits erupted
from ancient volcanoes approximately 9 to 3 million years ago,
during the late Miocene to Pliocene epochs. The rocks of
Cappadocia near Göreme eroded into hundreds of spectacular
pillars and minaret-like forms. The volcanic deposits are soft
rocks that the people of the villages at the heart of the
Cappadocia Region carved out to form houses, churches and
monasteries. Göreme became a monastic center between 300—1200
AD. |
