Experiences labelled with 'valley of the fairy chimneys'
Cappadocia known as the land of Fairy Chimneys, is like an open crack in time that takes you back to a place where civilizations lived in labyrinths and caves formed out of ancient volcanic stone. The town of Göreme is most closely associated to these smoothed out spherical structures and sanctuaries. It is estimated that the eruptions that produced this soft stone occurred some 3 million to 9 million years ago. Göreme Open-Air Museum is an exquisite experience as it boasts some the best examples of painted cave-churches, decorated in some of the most intriguing and elaborate interiors created by Medieval orthodox Christina monks in 1100(AD).
