Cappadocia beckons with its geographical wonders

DEFINITELY one of the most interesting places on Earth, the Cappadocia (Kapadokya in local language) region in Turkiye features fascinating topography never duplicated anywhere.

Scientific findings and domestic tale both point that the geographical wonders were formed when the three volcanoes – the Erciyes Mountain, Melendiz Mountain and Hasandag, now all dormant – erupted millions of years ago that over time created layers of sediment, “with the underneath layers more solid than the newer, softer upper levels of sediment.”
