Part of Central Anatolia, the historical region of Cappadocia is a beautiful, unique region featuring lunar-like landscapes, churches carved into the rock face and tall spires of fairy chimneys. Offering truly unforgettable sites, Cappadocia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Turkey.
You can start your journey through Cappadocia in Göreme, a beautiful town surrounded by rock formations shaped like fairy houses and featuring caves where people continue to live in the stunning Göreme National Park that includes over 10 beautifully decorated cave churches.
From there, you can travel using hot-air balloons to get a better view of the vast space of Cappadocian landscape. In the region’s capital, Nevsehir, you can explore more of the exceptional rock formations and what local people turned them into: underground shelters and cave houses.
Cappadocia hides some of its most beautiful jewels out of sight so make sure you don’t miss the magnificent underground cities of Derinkuyu, Kaymakli and Gaziemir, the ancient multi-level cities built around hundreds of underground tunnels.
But Cappadocia is not only about rocks and history; it is also a vibrant region offering nightlife opportunities, especially in the town of Ürgüp, a great stop for all tourists. Whether you’re looking for a cave hotel in Göreme or a 5-star one in Nevsehir, Booking.com has a special offer for you.
