Central Anatolia

Nevsehir (Cappadocia) travel guide and travel information there are many underrated destinations, which in our modern time, lose the interest of the people, although they are highly interesting actually even by today’s standards and offer great added value. Credit: Hikmet Ersek-2011. Cappadocia is one of these goals, which should actually be missing on any travel itinerary. The Turkish region of Cappadocia, which is located in Central Anatolia, is a rather unknown in this country in the broad mass destination, which always is worth a trip. Just as Turkey travel are always relatively cheap and excellent even in the price-performance ratio. This is especially true for which targets not directly in the neighbourhood of tourists swarming Antalya are. Cappadocia is known above all for the underground cities in the region, which are numerous, archaeologically uncovered in the 1960s. Belong to the most famous, for example, Kaymakl? and Derinkuyu. The region is also for their unique, over the years appointed until today by erosion formed rock formations in Goreme, 1985 to the world cultural heritage UNESCO.

Seal of approval this appointment should be enough to awaken the interest of every traveller. To visit, there are also extensive caves landscapes and built into the rock, still inhabited cities. This immediately put a traveler with a central eye for the environment to another, a new world. Gerome itself is one of these cities and looks at first glance old-fashioned, almost backward on an interessant-romantic manner. The landscapes of caves emerged at the time of the Silk Road, which ran through the region.

Christians scoop out then the soft tufa rock to therein, to hide in raids by various aggressors. These caves are still exist today and partially safely accessible. Few places can the history of that era, and especially the clash of different religions historically so impressively in front of eyes lead. There is also an open air museum in Goreme, where you can visit the dark Church.
