Cappadocia's surreal landscapes meet captivating belly dance, creating a mesmerizing blend of culture and natural beauty.
Cappadocia is really a great place. You can experience hot air balloons, jeep trips, classic cars, sunset rides, etc. However, the quotes from each travel agency are different. You need to go to different travel agencies to compare and bargain.

Fairy chimneys are one of the landscapes in the northern Goreme National Park in Cappadocia. It is a huge group of strange rocks that are absolutely unique. Fairy chimneys, fairy chimneys, goblin chimneys, large and small chimney-shaped stones suddenly appear, one after another, hitting the eyes! This is a gift from God that Kapazhi is proud of! There are also landforms similar to the moon in the park, which is a wonder of the world!
Good arrangements in the itinerary, the magical landscape created by the ghosts and axes of nature for tens of millions of years, bring your reverie, and leave interesting moments with your camera! The wind blows, the clouds blow, you have also been here!

Amazing work of nature where the entire valley is sculpted by nature into different shapes and sizes. from the Camel, to penguins, a pair of kissing ducks, upside down bear etc. Worth a visit before the landscape changes again over the years.
This canyon is not in the core scenic area of Goreme, but it is a good place for hiking. The Fenghua rocks are not so dense, very picturesque and comfortable. It is very suitable for a lazy walk and it is easy to take pictures.

Personally feel that it is the best attraction in Turkey. After arriving at Goreme, I went early the next morning. The first one entered the park. There was always no one. It was like my own archaeological feeling. The style was very shocking and the cave was amazing.
After returning, I couldn't figure out the photos taken by several museums, because the basic landscape of the open-air museum here in Cappadocia is still similar, a very unique place, not seen elsewhere
