Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey, boasts unique lunar-like landscapes, underground cities, mushroom-shaped rock formations, houses carved in rocks, and cave churches. It spans the provinces of Aksaray, Nevsehir, Nigde, Kayseri, and Kirsehir in central Anatolia, nestled between the Taurus Mountains and the Black Sea region. The name “Cappadocia” derives from Persian, meaning “the land of beautiful horses,” dating back to the 6th century BC. Herodotus mentions that Persians referred to the locals as “Cappadocians,” while Greeks called them “White Syrians or Syrians.” The region’s history spans various civilizations, including the Assyrians, Hittites, Phrygians, Persians, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans. Cappadocia served as a refuge for early Christians fleeing Roman persecution in the 2nd century AD, who established a thriving Christian community and developed underground cities, churches, and other structures. In 647 AD, the region faced Arab invasions, followed by incorporation into the Seljuk Empire in 1072 and later into the Ottoman Empire in 1399. Key attractions in Cappadocia include the Goreme Open Air Museum, Uchisar Castle, Zelve, Pasabaglari, Urgup, Devrent Valley, Ihlara Valley, Kaymakli, and Derinkuyu Underground Cities.
