Cappadocia (Pass By) Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area. Goreme Open-Air Museum The Goreme Open-Air Museum resembles a vast monastic complex composed of scores of refectory monasteries placed side-by-side, each with its own fantastic church.

Pasabag Pasabag in Cappadocia is located on the road to Zelve, coming from Goreme or Avanos.

Pacha means "General", the military rank, in Turkish and it is a very common nick name. This site is also called Monks Valley.

Wir fanden die Führung in der kleinen Reise Gruppe ideal für einen gelassenen Ausflug durch Kappadokien. Dadurch dass man unsere Reiseführerin Elif persönlich jeder Zeit ansprechen konnte, hatte Mann die Möglichkeit, flexible Entscheidungen zu treffen. Sie ist sehr nett und aufgeschlossen und Mann kann Sie jeder Zeit ansprechen und Fragen stellen. Die Reise ist sehr empfehlenswert für alle, die entspannt alle Sehenswürdigkeiten mit einer guten Führung genießen wollen!

Elif was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable and very kind. She offers water and goes the extra mile in going deeper with the history. She speaks very good english also!

Great tour overall if you want to quickly cover the main attractions in Cappadocia. The guide, Ahmet provide us a lot of knowledge in the histories of the place. Would recommend.
