The land of Anatolia is likened to the brightest star of Turkey

Cappadocia possesses a unique and unparalleled natural landscape dating back to the time of the Hittites (1800 – 1200 BCE) on the map of civilization.

The surreal landscape of the Anatolian highland is the result of millions of years ago when numerous volcanoes erupted, forming multi-layered magma.

Rain, wind, and water have eroded these volcanic formations, creating extraordinary natural masterpieces with layered mountains of countless fantastic shapes.

In any village within the Cappadocia region, local residents make the most of the benefits by carving holes into rock columns to create houses, which are now transformed into hotels or guesthouses.

Since the 1980s, the Cappadocia region has become a famous tourist destination in Turkey.
