Embark on a captivating journey with our 2-day Cappadocia tour from Alanya, a cultural exploration enriched with an overnight stay. Cappadocia, nestled in the heart of the Central Anatolian region, boasts a breathtaking landscape shaped by volcanic activity and millennia of natural forces. This unique wonder is synonymous with the Nevsehir province, located approximately 500 km away from Alanya.
The enchanting tableau of chimney rocks and rock formations, crafted by volcanic tufas and sculpted over thousands of years by the Kizilirmak river and wind, makes Cappadocia a global marvel. Serving as a crossroads for various civilizations including the Assyrian, Hittite, Frig, Pers, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman, Cappadocia became a refuge for the first Christians escaping Roman persecution in the 2nd century B.C. The ingenious creation of underground cities allowed them to evade detection, with hidden chambers for provisions, ventilation, wine production, churches, abbeys, water wells, toilets, and meeting rooms.
