Cappadocia Explorer

Break away from the bustle of Turkey's big cities and experience the rural culture of the Cappadocia region. A series of volcanic eruptions resulted in the area being swamped in ash, which then hardened to form a porous rock. The elements carved the terrain into the odd fairy chimneys, and later the inhabitants discovered they too could carve the rocks - even into homes and churches. A base in Goreme allows you to easily explore Cappadocia with a local guide. Come and discover Cappadocia's many mysteries and legends.

See the fairy chimneys and pigeon houses of Cappadocia, Experience local hospitality at a dinner with a Turkish family, Hike and bike through a lunar landscape, Be mesmerised by a Sufi performance, Enjoy a Turkish folklore evening in an atmospheric cave
