Cappadocia is one of the most important tourist destinations in Turkey for those interested in history and ancient civilizations, as it includes a group of areas and monuments dating back to different eras and civilizations such as the Persians, Greeks and Armenians.

What makes Cappadocia unique is its special-style hotels, which are caves and houses carved into the rocks.

The ancient Cappadocia region in the state of Nevsehir, central Turkey, attracted nearly 4 million tourists during the first 11 months of this year 2022.

The number of tourists coming to Cappadocia grew by 83% during the period from January to November 2022, compared to the same period last year.

The total number of visitors to the Turkish tourist area reached 3.970.909 tourists during the aforementioned period.

Cappadocia reached its peak of receiving tourists last August, with 652.921 visitors, according to data from the state of Nevsehir.

Cappadocia is characterized by one of the most unusual and beautiful landscapes in the world, and it was classified by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization "UNESCO" as a World Heritage Site.

The region is most famous for its "fairy chimneys" or "devil's tables", which are stones in the form of columns topped with rocks that look like mushrooms, and were formed naturally, as a result of the influence of winds and weather factors in the volcanic rocks that abound in the region.

Balloon tours are spread in different countries, but Cappadocia is the center of hot air ballooning in the world, due to the presence of the largest number of balloon flights throughout the year.
