Cappadocia
is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in
the Nevşehir, Kayseri, Kırşehir, Aksaray, Malatya, Sivas and Niğde provinces in
Turkey. Cappadocia is famous for its fairytale
scenery, cave dwellings, remarkable rock formations and, of course, the
hundreds of hot air balloons that soar in the sky during sunrise each morning.
There is also so much awesome hiking in Cappadocia, that it will take you at
least a week to explore all of the place in Cappdocia, exploring the ancient
the valleys and of course mesmerized by the hot air balloons.
Since the late 300s BCE the name Cappadocia came to be
restricted to the inland province (sometimes called Great Cappadocia), Upper
Cappadocia, which alone will be the focus of this article. Lower Cappadocia is
focused to elsewhere.
According to Herodotus, in the time of the Ionian
Revolt (499 BC), the Cappadocians were reported as occupying a region from
Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this
sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that
separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates, to the north by
Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.
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.
