Cappadocia Travel Guide: Fairy Chimneys and Underground Cities

Cappadocia is a unique landscape formed as volcanic tuff was shaped over thousands of years. Spread around Nevşehir, the region is world-famous.

Fairy chimneys and valleys

The Göreme Open-Air Museum and the Paşabağ, Devrent and Kızılçukur valleys are where fairy chimneys are most concentrated. Kızılçukur is ideal for sunset.

Underground cities

The Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı underground cities are historic settlements carved in multiple levels. They are cool and impressive.

Balloons and views

Uçhisar Castle is the highest point in the region. Hot-air balloon tours are the most popular way to see the valleys from above at sunrise.

In Cappadocia the sights are scattered and public transport is limited, so travellers often rent a car. For local rent a car companies, early handovers timed to the morning balloon flights are an important part of operations.
