Eye Shaped Pink Sunset Over The Bewitching Cappadocia, Turkey Stock Image

Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles like Uchisar and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians.
