LAND OF THE BEAUTIFUL HORSES…
Cappadocia is formed at the centre of a once volcanic region; millions of years ago, two large volcanoes erupted with such force that in some places the once molten lava, or tufa, was up to 100m thick. Over time, wind and weather have sculpted the Cappadocian landscape, forming the pinnacles and peaks now known as ‘fairy chimneys’.
Meaning ‘the land of beautiful horses’ in an ancient Persian language, Cappadocia is home to the Goreme National Park region, which was an official state during Roman times and the area has even featured as a backdrop in numerous films.
