CAPPADOCIA BEYOND THE DREAMS

Although Cappadocia named the land of beautiful horses, it is an incredible region that has no other example you can see on earth. Cappadocia’s magnificent nature and geographical conditions have hosted many civilizations and preserved its cultural heritage, when necessary, while still shedding light on its past and opening a new door for you without straying from its essence.

The Enchantment of Fairy Chimneys

The magnificent fairy chimneys, which offer four different beauties in four seasons, will take you to fairy tales. Until recently, the fairy chimneys, which served as parts of houses or as warehouses, were placed under protection, completely cleared out, and transformed into an open-air museum. The underground cities have become safe havens for the Orthodox society. Today, all of them are under protection and were offered to visitors as museums. It was the ancient volcanic eruptions of Erciyes and Hasan that shaped all of these unique formations. The wind and rain erosions that occurred after the Cappadocia valley, which was an inland sea, and filled with tuff have brought us this visual feast. The fairy chimneys are laid out in front of us as if they came out of a fairy tale.

Unforgettable moments in the Fairy Chimneys

Unique Accommodations

You may have travelled to many places before. You may have taken part in many cultural activities, but I do not think that a region like Cappadocia has not yet taken place in your memories. Cappadocia, which is under UNESCO protection, will experience the magnificent harmony of the past and the present. If Cappadocia were to be described in one word, it would be simply infinitely magnificent. If you travel or walk to Cappadocia from Uçhisar one evening, I recommend that you listen to the work of the Japanese artist Kitaro called Silk Road. It was composed for this view. It will take you to another dimension. I will not say close your eyes and imagine with the magnificent view of Uchisar Castle and Kitaro, I will ask to open your eyes completely and watch this beauty and take part in it. This is Cappadocia, an incredible experience between dream and reality.

Handcrafts; Art of Pottery

Kızılırmak River plays a crucial role in the creation of beautiful handicrafts, and it continues to nurture Avanos and the surrounding region. You can see incredible examples of ceramic and pottery art in the region and try to make your own. Unique Cuisine Cappadocia cuisine consists of a total of flavours that will appeal to every taste. Testi kebab or manti or pastries made from herbs specific to the region will crack your palate. In addition, dishes, and desserts, especially grain-based, from the rich Anatolian cuisine offer a separate pleasure. Just as you cannot forget the Cappadocia we saw from the balloon; you will also not forget the taste of the food.

Dream Tours to Go

Whether it is a honeymoon or a few days with your friends, Cappadocia will offer great opportunities. Again, there are essentials in Cappadocia itself. Like riding an ATV. Like walking in the Ihlara Valley. Like breathing the atmosphere in underground cities. And closing your eyes. Like feeling the life of those people there at that time. It will be a unique experience to touch the stones and walls and see how they were dug. How they went down seven or five floors underground, their churches, kitchens and storages, water tanks, ventilation shafts and living spaces. If humanity were to be rebuilt, I think the starting point would be Cappadocia. I am sure that if you come one hundred times, you will come back with the same feelings for the 101st time.

Historical Significance

The administrative city in the region is Nevşehir, means Yenişehir.It is important to recognize Nevşehirli Damat İbrahim Pasha, who held a prestigious position as a royal son-in-law during the Tulip Era, for his significant contributions to the growth and preservation of the city. Pasha also brought elegance to the concept of entertainment during his time. It is possible to visit Cappadocia by horse. It is unfair to say that it is only a land of beautiful horses for Cappadocia. It is entire culture, an art of living and taste. What truly makes you experience this feeling is the region itself. It is not enough to get to know Cappadocia from books, YouTube, videos, movies. You need to come, see, discover, touch, and feel. It is exceedingly difficult to understand this magnificent region without taking it in, step by step, breath by breath.
