Cappadocia 2 Days / 1 Night by Plane
Description of the tour:
Cappadocia is one of the most mysterious, ancient and beautiful places in Turkey. If you are looking for something the most unusual and special in Turkey, don’t miss the chance to visit this place.
Cappadocia is a historical area in the very heart of Turkey, which is famous for its unusual landscapes of volcanic origin, underground cities and cave monasteries since the early Christians. This beauty was the result of ancient volcanoes eruption, lava of which covered the whole region. During the long periods of time the interesting volcanic valleys, clefts and canyons had been forming as a consequence of the tuff accumulation, and later because of wind and rain. Nowadays that all has become an outdoor museum with quaint terrain, made with the power of nature, but not by human hands.
The Cappadocia history dates back to 5000 BC. This entire time the region was at the crossroads of the civilizations. It was the part of Hittite, Persian, Roman and Ottoman Empires and other governmental formations and also served as the arena to multiple wars.
The early Christians had lived there. They had built 200 churches. Some of them still had walls paintings and murals, which tell us about the life of Jesus Christ. Lots of underground cities are also located there. Sometimes they reach up to eight-nine floors, have narrow tunnels, air pipes and living spaces. They served as an excellent protection to Christians in case of the Romans attack.
