A 3 day trip to the magical Cappadocia... The land of Fairy Chimneys...
As if plucked from a whimsical fairytale and set down upon the stark Anatolian plains, Cappadocia is a geological oddity of honeycombed hills and towering boulders of otherworldly beauty. The fantastical topography is matched by the human history here. During the early periods of Christianity, the first followers of Jesus and his apostles settled in the area to hide from the soldiers of Roman Empire. It is known that St. Paul was looking for a secure place after expelled from Jerusalem. He came to Cappadocia and established the first Christian colony in this region with his followers. Thousands seeked shelter in huge underground cities. People have long utilised the region's soft stone, leaving the countryside scattered with fascinating cavern architecture.
