ABOUT CAPPADOCIA
Cappadocia
is a fairy tale land in the middle of Anatolia. It is a
land in which
history,
architecture, nature
and scenery have been blended in perfect proportions.
Cappadocia, “Land of Beautiful Horses” in the ancient
Persian tongue, has hosted some of the biggest antic
civilizations. This is why everyone who comes here falls
in love with it. This is why it loves everyone who comes
to it.
It
has inspired every community that came here, tirelessly
carrying and keeping their works to pass them on
to the future. This is why there's a message to the
future from all those who came here.
Cappadocians,
Persians,
Byzantines,
Seljuk Turks,
Hittites, Phrygians,
Greeks, Armenians and
Ottomans lived in
Cappadocia. All those who came here worked to build
themselves a new world. They carved the rocks, adorned
the stones, built churches, chapels, and temples. They
built houses, streets and cities. They put human love
into every detail. And this is when the rocks began to
talk to the nature itself.
The
region enjoys a beauty created not only by the hand of
man, but mainly by nature. Rocks composed of various
minerals and metals were eroded due to climatic
conditions and movements of the earth. Valleys, canyons,
nature-sculptured rock statues and fairy chimneys came
into being.
This
is why people come here not only for a holiday, but also
to see, to learn and to touch the traces of the past.
Every spot is mysterious, and rich with history. Even
from the same spot, you can never take the same picture
twice, because Cappadocian's landscape is always
changing.
