Cappadocia’s unique geological formations were shaped over 60 million years ago, when the Taurus Mountains rose and volcanoes erupted, covering the area with ash and forming a soft tuff layer. Rainwater and erosion gradually sculpted the soft tuff into the famous fairy chimneys, while valleys formed in areas without basalt cover.

It has been inhabited since the Paleolithic period, and later became a crucial center of Christianity, with houses and churches carved into the rocks serving as refuge for Christians seeking shelter from the Roman Empire’s oppression.

The name “Cappadocia” first appeared in Persian sources around the 6th century BC. Its origin, the word “Katpatuka,” has uncertain roots. Initially, experts proposed that it meant “Low Country” in the Luwian language. However, further research revealed that the Hittite adverb “katta,” meaning “down, below,” corresponds to the Luwian word “zanta,” rather than “Katpatuka.”

We had a wonderful tour of Turkey

We had a wonderful tour of Turkey, which included Anzac day at Anzac cove, our guide & driver were excellent & we only had a small number on our bus. Hotels were 4 star or more, but were out of towns. Food was good mainly buffets. Great value for money. Turkish people were lovely.

JULIE & ADRIAN ROBERTS

Excellent value and comprehensive tour of top sights.

Excellent and experienced guide Oscar was a wealth of knowledge and fun to travel with.
The airport pickup and departures were smooth and well organized. Hotels were all of good quality though some were a distance from the cities visited. Lunch/dinner buffets were fairly repetitive in content, but you could always find something good and one never goes hungry. The vehicle used, a minibus, was modern, clean and “Fati” was a safe and excellent driver. There are some quite long driving days to cover so much territory, but in 10 days you will have seen many of Türkiye’s most famous and beautiful sights. Very good value for money and a responsive and communicative travel company to work with. I look forward to future adventures with TravelShop.
