Cappadocia Land of Fairy Chimneys (Turkey 1)

The Göreme National Park is a World Heritage Site in the Nevşehir Province of Central Anatolia.The Hoodoo rock formations are large rock formations that were formed between 70 and 75 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period. The lava came from the eruption of the volcano, Mount Erciyes (ancient Argaeus) being 3916 m high. Erosion over many millennia sculpted curvy cliff faces and pointy, fairy, rock spires. Traditional Cappadocian houses and pigeonholes were carved out in the soft rock.
The fairy chimneys really are a fairyland! Let your mind relax and you can see Bugs Bunny, dogs kissing or whatever you want to see!
A hike through the Rose Valley followed by the Red Valley is a great experience: towering rocks, tunnels through the rocks, pigeonholes high in the cliff faces, huge trees, to name but a few. The hike ends in Cavusin, an ancient village with hundreds of cave houses. The earthquake of 1963 destroyed many of the houses and the remaining ones will most probably not last too long.
Göreme is not only an interesting town but also picturesque and photogenic. Ordinary lights shining out of the large ant heaps create a special and beautiful night scene

We visited Kaymakli Underground city. The low and narrow tunnels provide access to eight floors of which only the first four are on display now It is unreal to think people lived there for months.

There are numerous restaurants along the streets. We had brunch and drinks at the Panorama café and dinner at the One Way restaurant where their pottery kebab is something unusual.

We paid a visit to the Government sponsored weaving school in Avanos. It is a great incentive of the government and a very interesting place to visit. Turkish silk carpets are just beautiful. What else can I say!

Turkish pottery has a tradition of excellence and perfection. Cappadocias pottery goes back to the Hittites. Ömürlü Ceramics is a family owned business since 1807. Exquisite and unique handcrafted pieces are sold exclusively through the showroom in Avanos. I left with a heavy heart - if only I could have.............!

Cappadocia Fairy Chimneys In Turkey

CAPPADOCIA - Fairy Chimneys

Cappadocian region is the place where the nature and history come together with most beautiful scene in the world. While geographic events are forming Peribacaları (fairy chimneys), during the historical period, humans had carried the signs of thousand years old civilizations with carving houses and churches within these earth pillars and decorating them with frisks.

During the Roman Emperor, Augustus period, territories of Cappadocian Region as a wide region lying till to the Toros Mountains at south, Aksaray at west, Malatya at east and Eastern Black Sea shores at north within the 17 volume book named 'Geographika' of Strabon, one of the Antic Period writers. Today's Cappadocian Region is the area covered by Nevşehir, Aksaray, Niğde, Kayseri, and Kırşehir cities. More limited area, rocky Cappadocian Region is composed of Üçhisar, Göreme, Avanos, Ürgüp, Derinkuyu, Kaymaklı, Ihlara and environment.

Traditional Cappadocian houses and dovecotes carved into stones are showing the uniqueness of the region. These houses are constructed on the feet of the mountain via rocks or cut stones. Rock, which is the only construction material of the region, as it is very soft after quarry due to the structure of the region, can be easily processed but after contact with air it hardens and turns into a very strong construction material. Due to being plentiful and easy to process of the used material, regional unique masonry is developed and turned into an architectural tradition. Materials of neither courtyard nor house doors is wood. Upper parts of the doors built with arches are decorated with stylized ivy or rosette motifs.

Dovecotes within the region are small structures constructed within 18th century and end of 19th century. Some of the dovecotes, which are important for showing Islamic picture art are constructed as monastery or church. Surfaces of dovecotes are decorated with rich inscriptions and adornments by regional artists.

Hot Air Balloon Flight over Cappadocia Turkey GOPRO HERO4 HD; Fairy Chimneys, Red Valley

Hot Air Balloon Flight over Cappadocia Turkey. ❤️????
Fairy Chimneys, Red Valley!

THIS was our incredible Hot Air Balloon experience, flying over the stunning Cappadocia landscape in central Turkey.

Simply breath taking. The longer you watch - the more beautiful the view gets.

We chose to fly with 'Royal Balloon'. Yes, they are on of the most expensive... but in my opinion, they are the best, most reliable and professional ballooning company in the region.

Some background: The most important towns and destinations in Cappadocia are Ürgüp, Goreme, Ihlara Valley, Selime, Guzelyurt, Uchisar, Avanos and Zelve.

And, the best historic mansions and stunning cave houses for tourists are in Urgup, Goreme, Guzelyurt and Uchisar. We stayed in Urgup at the Elkep Evi Cave Hotel.

Exploring a Fairy Chimney in Göreme, Turkey

The surreal landscape surrounding the town of Göreme (in Cappadocia, Turkey) is dotted with fairy chimneys. Over a millennium ago, these large rock formations (often shaped like columns or pyramids) were hollowed out and used as homes and churches by the Christians inhabitants.

Cappadocia City of fairy chimneys.

Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area.

Visiting Cappadocia in Turkey. Underground cities & fairy chimneys?!

In late November 2014 we visited Cappadocia in Turkey. This is a look back at the days we spent in this crazy different and historical place. It's definitely a bit out of the way but well worth the journey. We stayed in a cave hotel and visited an underground city that's thousands of years old. Truly an amazing place!
