Cappadocia, located in central Turkey, is renowned for its extraordinary “fairy chimneys,” towering rock formations that grace areas such as Monks Valley and Göreme. The region’s rich history includes ancient Bronze Age homes carved into the valley walls, later used as shelters by early Christians. Among its many wonders is the Ihlara Canyon, a 100-meter-deep gorge dotted with rock-carved churches, offering a glimpse into its storied past.
