With a geologically unique and beautiful landscape, formed as a result of the erosion of hardened volcanic ash deposited following the eruption of Mount Erciyes many millennia ago, Cappadocia is often described as the jewel in Turkey’s crown. Rather than referring to just one town, Cappadocia is the name given to the area which comprises several charming villages, numerous wineries, former Greek settlements, pottery workshops and a range of valleys which are a hiker’s delight.
