Cappadocia features one of the most stunning landscapes in the world. The famed Fairy Chimneys rise up out of the ground and give and the second you arrive, there’s no way you can possibly imagine that you’re living on the same planet as the one you arrived from.

That goes for your dwelling as well though. People in Cappadocia have been living either underground or in caves for literally centuries, right up until the present day. There are a number of reasons for this, which we’ll get into of course, but the point is that the way people have lived and survived in Cappadocia is just as remarkable as its terrain. So we’ll go in chronological order through the centuries so you can decide exactly how you want to experience this amazing place when you finally make it over, or come again if you’ve visited before!
