The Cappadocia 2-day tour from Alanya is a cultural tour that offers one night of accommodation 1, taking you on a journey to one of Turkey’s most unique and beautiful regions. Located around 500 km from Alanya, Cappadocia is known for its miraculous natural wonders and is the common name for the Nevsehir province and its surrounding region in central Anatolia. This region was formed by volcanic eruptions from Erciyes, Hasan, and Gullu mountains, which created a large tableland made of volcanic tufas. Over time, the Kizilirmak river and the wind eroded the region, resulting in the creation of chimney rocks and rock formations that are wonders of nature.
Cappadocia has a rich history, having been home to civilizations such as the Assyrian, Hittite, Frig, Pers, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman. In the 2nd century B.C., the first Christians who were fleeing persecution from the Roman Empire came to Cappadocia through Antakya and Kayseri, settling in the region. They discovered the region’s underground cities, and during the time of the Roman soldiers’ persecution, they hid in the underground cities, which were designed to be hard to detect. They stayed in these encrypted cities for long periods, developing provisions rooms, ventilation chimneys, wine production places, churches, abbeys, water wells, toilets, and meeting rooms.
The trip to Cappadocia also includes a visit to one of Anatolia’s biggest Caravansarai (old inn), which is located near Aksaray town. If you want to experience the authentic and hidden Turkey outside of busy holiday resorts, don’t miss the Cappadocia 2-day tour from Alanya!
