Cappadocia - Goreme, Avanos, Urgup



The region known in ancient times as Cappadocia is the setting for some of nature's most bizarre wonders. It incorporates the provinces of Aksaray, Nevsehir, Nigde, Kayseri and Kirsehir. For most people, the name Cappadocia suggests the towns and vicinities of Uchisar, Goreme, Avanos, Urgup, Derinkuyu, Kaymakliand Ihlara, where in the course of millions of years, the land has been shaped into fantastic forms. Fairy chimneys that seem haunted and cities and houses of worhip that extend many meters deep into the earth are all enveloped in an atmosphere that is ethereal and unworldly.



The best way to describe Cappadocia to you is through the photos that I have taken.
