In Herodotus' time , Cappadocia reportedly covered the entire area from the Taurus Mountains to the Euxine region (on the Black Sea ), with the southern boundary of the Taurus mountain range separating it from Cilicia , the eastern boundary of the headwaters of the Euphrates and the Armenian highlands , the northern boundary of Pontus , and the western boundary. Lycaonia and eastern Galatia . This name is traditionally used in the sources of Christianity throughout history and is still widely used as an international tourism concept to define a region in Turkey which has a number of natural wonders, especially the "fairy chimneys" ( fairy chimney ) and cultural heritage of Anatolia and Turkey are unique. Cappadocia is also mentioned in the Christian Bible , among other things in Acts 2:9 as one of the areas from which the group who heard the gospel message at Pentecost took place shortly after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ . #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Cappadocia When we first arrived in Cappadocia, it didn’t feel like we were stepping out of a bus. It felt more like we were getting off a spaceship. It was the oddest-looking landscape I had ever seen with its mushroom-capped fairy chimneys and cities carved in stone. Cave dwelling has a long history in Cappadocia so people have likened its landscape to the Flintstones but to me, it felt more like the surface of the moon, completely alien and not of this earth. One of the things that surprised me the most about Turkey was its geographic diversity. Natural or man-made, there is so much to marvel at from its calcium travertines in Pamukkale to the minaret-filled skyline of Istanbul. But for me, Cappadocia topped them all. It’s beauty, as you’ll soon see, is out of this world.❤️ #naturalwonders#themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

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. #camping#themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

It's a beautiful and unique place where we can see the beauty of this place from above the balloon #themepark

Amazing Place

The hot air balloon experience itself is amazing. However we were not notified or contacted by the agent until 6pm the night before the actual activity to confirm on pick up time. We had trouble confirming the pick up time the day before and not knowing if the activity will proceed as planned and this causes a lot of distress on our plans. Klook was unable to provide any help besides telling #summervacation

Yaprakhisar is a part of Cappadocia national park. You will see the nicest examples of conical fairy chimneys here. Since the area is very similar to Star Wars Film Set, Yaprakhisar is known as “Star Wars Movie Set”. The view is awesome. It's nice to look down from the hill when you hike to the top. There are several chimney rooms you can enter, which some were used as kitchen, even as a church! You can enter here with a ticket to the Ihlara valley. Old people's life is worth discussing. Please pay attention to the windy weather and the sandstorm during winter/spring season though. Best way to get here is to join the Green Tour of Cappadocia 🤎🌿🌟🌳🌸⛅️ #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #summervacation#hikingtrails

The best place to go for horse riding they are probably the best in Cappadocia, Goreme👌 Here they have safety in mind for all types of riders they have good horses and you can tell they have been looking after their horses 🐎 This is a magnificent experience while in Cappadocia, probably the best adventure that you'll have. The ride of almost 2 hours took us through snow breathtaking landscapes and the experience of doing it on horseback was spectacular. I recommend it 200%, and I would return to do this activity without thinking twice 🤎⛅️🌟🌼 #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #summervacation#hikingtrails
