Cappadocia, unique in the world and a miraculous nature wonder, is the common name of the field covered by the provinces of Aksaray, Nevşehir, Nigde, Kayseri and Kirşehir in the Middle Anatolian region.

The origins of this unusual region can be traced to the Tertiary period some 50 million years ago, when craters and chimneys dominated the landscape. Since then huge quantities of volcanic material have spewed out of the many volcanoes. Forces of erosion have shaped the incredible and unique Cappadocian landscape. (Location: Göreme)
