CAPPADOCIA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in the Nev\u015fehir, Kayseri, K\u0131r\u015fehir, Aksaray, and Ni\u011fde Provinces in Turkey.<\/p>\n

The name, traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history, continues in use as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

HISTORY<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s name was probably derived from Katpatuka, land of the beautiful horses, in Hittite language. Cappadocia is generally regarded as the plains and the mountainous region of eastern central Anatolia around the upper and middle reaches of the river Kizilirmak (Red River). It was here that several ancient highways crossed and different cultures came into contact with each other. It was also the land of the Hittites.<\/p>\n

The history of Cappadocia began in prehistoric times. Hatti culture (2500-2000 BC.) had its way during the Bronze Age and in about the 2nd Millennium BC. the Hittites settled in the region. Soon the Assyrians (2000-1800 BC.) had established their trading posts. Phrygians probably ruled Cappadocia from 1250 BC., but the Lydians were expelled by the middle of the 6th century BC by the Persians who ruled until 334 BC.<\/p>\n

In AD 17 the region became a Roman province, trade and military routes were built and urban centers and settlements were encourage. Once Asia Minor came under Christian influence, the first Christian communities appeared in Cappadocia and those persecuted for their religious beliefs elsewhere sought refuge in the region. Cappadocia thus became a melting pot of a variety of ethnic groups, all of which have influenced the culture and religious beliefs.<\/p>\n

Basilius the Great (329-379 AD), bishop of Caesarea (modern day Kayseri), inspired many religious colonies and for a thousand years an active monastic way of life endured throughout Cappadocia. Invasions first from Turkmenistan and Mongolia and then from Seljuks and Ottomans put an end to the movement.<\/p>\n

TOURISM<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The area is a popular tourist destination, as it has many areas with unique geological, historic, and cultural features.<\/p>\n

The most important towns and destinations in Cappadocia are \u00dcrg\u00fcp, G\u00f6reme, Ihlara Valley, Selime, Guzelyurt, U\u00e7hisar, Avanos and Zelve.

The rocks of Cappadocia near G\u00f6reme eroded into hundreds of spectacular pillars and minaret-like forms. People of the villages at the heart of the Cappadocia Region carved out houses, churches and monasteries from the soft rocks of volcanic deposits. G\u00f6reme became a monastic centre in 300\u20131200 AD.<\/p>\n

The first period of settlement in G\u00f6reme goes back to the Roman period. The Yusuf Ko\u00e7, Ortahane, Durmus Kadir and Bezirhane churches in G\u00f6reme, and houses and churches carved into rocks in the Uzundere, Ba\u011f\u0131ldere and Zemi Valleys, all illustrate history and can be seen today.
