Cappadocia – Home of Pretty Rocks

Our first real stop in Turkey would be Cappadocia.

The place is boiling over with history and culture, which I could write pages about – but Wikipedia probably does a much better job anyway. It is worth noting there is a ton of history here.

The idea that I’d like to convey the most is how beautiful of a place this is, in a fully unconventional sense.

The different formations are due to a history of an active volcanic region, resulting in a bunch of different kinds of rock – sedimentary, volcanic, and some generic hard rock – that result in a beautiful landscape and occasional independent structures called fairy chimneys
