A LAND OF TREASURES
Cappadocia , one of the most fantastic and beautiful regions of the world , was formed through nature ’ s magical journey . The city is located in a historical region in Central Anatolia , largely in Nevşehir Province , in Turkey . The Cappadocia landscape and the surrounding area began to be shaped millions of years ago when the volcanic layer of lava and ashes covered the area upon the eruption of the volcanic mountains Erciyes , Hasandag and Güllüdag . The volcanic landscape took its final shape with the course of time due to erosion caused by wind and rain .
The natural landscape of Cappadocia took form over millions of years and it is among the most beautiful examples of nature . The fairy chimneys and the houses and churches carved out of the rocks have been preserved for centuries with great care . The fairy chimneys and magnificent frescoes carved inside those dwellings are among the world ’ s most interesting sights .
