Lost in the surreal landscapes of Türkiye

According to National Geographic, thick ash from ancient volcanic eruptions created stunning lava flows. Then, humans, along with the ingenuity of Mother Nature, constructed these caves. The intricate tunnel systems formed entire underground towns.

This area, now known as Göreme National Park, was once the only land route between the Greek and Persian empires. Later, it bridged the gap between the Byzantine Greeks and their rivals in the Middle East. The caves provided hiding places. Over the years, these underground caverns became increasingly complex.

Cappadocia is filled with fascinating Byzantine churches, historical houses, and even entire underground cities to explore. Among them, the Open Air Museum of Goreme is a stunning place to admire history. This structure was built in the early 4th century.

The fairy chimneys of Cappadocia can be found in the region's four major cities: Nevsehir, Kayseri, Aksaray, and Nigde. Overnight flights and buses to Kayseri run daily.
