Cappadocia is a geographical term rather than a province in Turkey. It is the volcanic land between the two great vocanoes, Mt. Hasan and Mt. Erciyes, in the east and west respectively; The Aladaglar range in the South and Kizilirmak river in the North.
Thanks to the soft volcanic material, (tuff) and the erosion of millions of years by the wind and the rain, whole area looks like a fantastic, fairy-tale land.
Strange rock formations take the form of huge boulders jutting out from the ground at some places and at others times they form, eye pleasing, smoothly curved valleys. Varying in color and shape, these “fairy chimneys” (as they are called in turkish) and the beautiful valleys make one of natures most suprising masterpieces.
Cappadocia is hard to put into words. Unique and pretty much increbidle, it is one of those places that you must see with your own eyes to believe! |
