CAPPADOCIA

Cappadocia, 60 million years ago, Erciyes, Hasandağı and Göllüdağ erupted from the soft layers of lava and ash formed by the erosion of the soft layers by rain and wind for millions of years. Human settlement dates back to the Paleolithic period. The lands inhabited by the Hittites became one of the most important centers of Christianity in later periods. Houses and churches carved into the rocks have made the area a huge shelter for Christians fleeing the oppression of the Roman Empire. Today, the region called Cappadocia is a region where its geographical formations are concentrated in an area of ​​250 km² and spread to the provinces of Kırşehir, Niğde, Aksaray and Kayseri, especially Nevşehir.
