Visit Cappadocia The Land of Beautiful Horses

Where are the horses?

It is said that Cappadocians have the best horses of Anatolia which was famous in Persian land. That is why they called their country as " Katpatutka" which means the land of beautiful horses. With horses or without them I can say Cappadocia is a beautiful land and you must visit there once in your life.

Deep in the heart of Anatolia, Cappadocia offers surreal scenery, adventure activities, and an in-depth look into the history of Christianity. The lunar landscape is dotted with rocks nicknamed “Fairy Chimneys.”

Couldnt find a horse?Then ride a chimney!
Created because of wind and water erosion, some of them have been inhabited for many years, with rooms, windows, and staircases laboriously curved inside creating 5-storey structures. Known as cave homes and hotels, they are one of the main attractions of the region.

Cappadocia’s geological quirks, plus the wealth of caves and hideaways, have made it a place of refuge since biblical times, when it was popular with Christians fleeing persecution. Their legacy includes the underground cities at Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı as well as the painted cave churches found in the Goreme and Zelve valleys.

Cappadocia has a steppe climate; there is a great temperature difference between day and night. The average temperature is +23 Degrees-Celsius (73 F) in summer and -2 Degrees-Celsius (28 F) in winter. It is cooler and drier than popular tourist areas of the Mediterranean and the Aegean coasts.
