Cappadocia A land created by the interaction of natural and human forces over vast spans of time, Cappadocia is unique to Turkey and should be visited. The peaks of three volcanos - Erciyes, Hasan and Melendez Daglari - dominate Cappadocia. It was their eruptions some three millions years ago, covering the former plateau of Goreme in ashes and mud, that provided the region`s raw material: tuff. This soft stone, formed by compressed volcanic ash, has been worked on ever since by process of erosion to form the valleys and curious fairy chimney rock formations for which the region is so famous. Goreme, Urgup, Ihlara Valley, the underground city, Uchisar and Kervansaray are the highlights of the huge region.
