Cappadocia, located in central Turkey, is famed for its otherworldly landscapes, including underground cities, peculiar mushroom-shaped rock formations, homes hewn into cliffs, and ancient cave churches. Spanning the provinces of Aksaray, Nevşehir, Niğde, Kayseri, and Kırşehir in Central Anatolia, it lies between the Taurus Mountains and the Black Sea region. The region’s name, derived from Persian, translates to “the land of beautiful horses,” with references dating back to the 6th century BC. Historical accounts by Herodotus suggest the term “Cappadocian” was used by Persians, while Greeks referred to them as “White Syrians or Syrians.”

Cappadocia’s history is marked by its varied inhabitants, including Assyrians, Hittites, Phrygians, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans. Initially established by Assyrians for trade, it later became a vital part of the Hittite Empire. Over centuries, it was governed by Phrygians, Persians, and Romans. Notably, in the 2nd century, early Christians fleeing Roman persecution found refuge here, expanding underground cities and forming a significant Christian community. These cities included living quarters, storage areas, ventilation systems, wine-making facilities, churches, monasteries, water wells, latrines, and meeting rooms.

Cappadocia faced Arab invasions in 647 AD and was incorporated into the Seljuk Empire by 1072, later joining the Ottoman territories under Sultan Yıldırım Beyazıt in 1399. Key attractions in Cappadocia include the Göreme Open Air Museum, Uçhisar Castle, Zelve, Paşabağları, Ürgüp, Devrent Valley, Ihlara Valley, and the Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu Underground Cities.
