Nevşehir's Kapadokya is a painterly landscape dotted with fantastical 'fairy chimneys' (rock formations). Cappadocia, central Turkey, boasts an impressive history that rivals its enchanting terrain. Volcanic Eruptions created this surreal moonscape: lava flows formed the tuff rock, which wind and rain sculpted into curvy cliff faces and pointy fairy chimneys. The region's residents carved homes from the soft rock, paving the way for cave-dwelling hippies and today's boutique hotels. The area's most extraordinary phase was during the medieval era, when the valleys served as a refuge for Byzantine Christians. Monastic settlements established religious troglodytes, cave churches, and added a solemnity reminiscent of biblical scenes to this prehistoric region. The Goreme Open-Air Museum, a World Heritage site, boasts an impressive collection of chapels and living quarters, most dating back to the 11th century.
