The kingdom of this elf, you don’t have to doubt the magical scenery that your eyes see, just wait quietly for a sunny day and take a hot air balloon to explore! Located in the central part of Turkey, the Anatolian Plateau of Cappadocia is famous for its fairy-tale-like speckled rock formations. When it comes to Cappadocia, the first thing that comes to mind is hot air balloons. But the unique rock formations, cave dwellings, and historical relics of the semi-hermit inhabitants here are even more fascinating. The rolling hills, valleys, and gorges here form a “stone pillar forest” one after another. Various shapes of stone pillars stand tall, creating a unique landscape known as “fairy chimneys.” The unique terrain here was initially a refuge for Christians fleeing from the Romans. In the 4th century AD, they established the main part of Cappadocia. This place can be described as a perfect combination of natural wonders and cultural classics. What is also amazing is the numerous underground cities in Cappadocia, where one can experience the scenes of the past while walking inside. The unique karst topography of Cappadocia exudes a soul-stirring beauty that captivates countless travelers, earning it a spot as one of the “Top 10 Earthly Wonders” by the National Geographic Society. As early as the Persian Empire period, due to the Cappadocians’ tribute of strong horses and skilled gold and silver craftsmen to the Persians, the Persians called this place “Cappadocia,” which means the beautiful land of horses. Kayseri and Nevsehir are the transportation hubs of Cappadocia, with Goreme being the most concentrated and famous tourist spot. Taking a long-distance bus is probably the most cost-effective way to travel in the Cappadocia region.
