Are you looking for something new and unusual? Why not visit Cappadocia? This region in Turkey looks like a fairytale, and it provides a unique combination of mystery and adrenaline. Here are the top 3 things you need to do in Cappadocia.
Göreme Open-Air Museum
This splendid cluster of monastic Byzantine artistry with its rock-cut churches, chapels and monasteries is one of Turkey’s UNESCO World Heritage sites.
At first, this was an important Byzantine monastery, then a pilgrimage site from the 17th century, and now it’s one of the main attractions in Cappadocia. This is a place that must be visited!
Derinkuyu Underground City
Derinkuyu is the deepest excavated underground city in Cappadocia. A beautiful natural wonder with impressive fairy chimneys and eroded caverns, Cappadocia is an amazing geological spectacle. Extending to a depth of approximately 60 meters (200 ft), it’s large enough to have sheltered as many as 20,000 people.
Güllüdere Vadısı (Rose Valley)
The trails that loop around Rose Valley are easily accessible for everyone and provide some of the finest fairy chimney–strewn vistas in Cappadocia. They hide fabulous and little-visited rock-cut churches boasting vibrant fresco fragments and intricate carvings hewn into the stone.
