Mystical Cappadocia

819

Sculpted by wind, ice and volcanoes over millions of years, and inhabited by a variety of ancient empires, Cappadocia remains a region that is unique for both its ever-changing terrain and culture.  At Uchisar Castle, visit the Goreme Open Air Museum which contains the best preservered examples of cave churches.  Tour the Derinkuyu Underground City, an underground living complex, where carved airshafts extend as deep as 300 feet into the rock.  The ruins at Zelve are spread over three valleys, which also contain many pointed fairy chimneys with large stems.

The Globus tour, Turkish Delights offers a wonderful overview of Turkey including Cappadocia.  Insight tours also offers a 12 day Wonders of Turkey vacation.
