Europe > Turkey > further Regions > Avanos / Cappadocia
Cappadocia, ‘the land of beautiful horses’, a name given by the Persians when they saw the wild mountain ponies of the region, is unique.
It is listed World Heritage by UNESCO, wild ponies still live on the slopes of the Erciyes Volcano.
Cappadocia has been a meeting ground for European and Asian civilizations since long before the time of Alexander the Great.
Rich reminders of history are everywhere to be seen, and nature has created dramatic cliffs and valleys in breathtaking colors.
Hidden throughout the landscape are enormous underground cities where early Christians took refuge from Roman and Muslim invaders, as well as secret caves containing exquisitely painted churches.
