Cappadocia tour from Kemer is a 2-day journey combining nature, history, and culture, including 1-night hotel accommodation. Cappadocia is located about 520 km from Kemer and is one of the most unique regions in Turkey.
The name Cappadocia comes from an ancient kingdom founded here in the 3rd century BC. Today, the region covers areas such as Nevşehir, Kayseri, Niğde, and Aksaray in Central Turkey.
UNIQUE NATURE & HISTORY:
Cappadocia is famous for its extraordinary landscapes and geological formations. These unique rock shapes were created millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions from mountains such as Erciyes (Argaus), Hasan Dağı, and Güllü Dağ. Over time, wind, rain, and erosion shaped the soft volcanic rock into the fairy chimneys and valleys seen today.
Throughout history, many civilizations lived in Cappadocia due to its fertile land and easily carved rocks. The Hittites, Phrygians, Persians, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans all left their marks on the region.
During the cappadocia tour from kemer, you will explore beautiful valleys, unique rock formations, cave churches, and fascinating underground cities. These underground cities were first created by the Hittites and later expanded by early Christians as safe shelters.
