Cappadocia
A magical landscape of fairy chimneys, ancient cave dwellings, and hot air balloons dancing across the sunrise sky
Book Your Balloon FlightDiscover the Land of Fairy Chimneys
Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia, Turkey, known for its distinctive "fairy chimneys" — tall, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Monks Valley, Göreme and elsewhere. The region's unique geological, historic, and cultural features make it a popular tourist destination.
The landscape was formed millions of years ago when volcanic eruptions covered the region with thick ash, which solidified into soft rock called "tuff." Over millennia, wind and water erosion sculpted this tuff into the surreal formations we see today.
Ancient civilizations carved homes, churches, and entire underground cities into these soft rocks, creating a labyrinthine world that remains largely intact and explorable today.
