“THE LAND OF BEAUTIFUL HORSES”

The most valuable rocks of the world; of course they took some time- roughly 10 million years…
First the lavas erupted, and then the ashes covered it up. It was woken up by the rain. Its scarped head would almost touch the sky…
Some would take shelter in it while some would worship it. From Hittites to Persians, from Romans to the Ottomans, it brought the tracks of civilizations of thousands of years to our time.
The charm of the rocks that mesmerized Alexander the Great every evening,
the attack of belief which is sharper than a sword,
the stupendous workshop where it forms and displays monuments of God,
the Persian’s Land of Beautiful Horses leaves its shivery traces on the ground and takes wings. Cappadocia is now a ritual…

Those, who are generally in search of something different, come up with nice discoveries as a result of their expeditions. If you are one of those in search of distinction, here is our recommended route: “Cappadocia” where you can feel the depth of life, time and civilizations and where nature turns into a visual feast.
Enjoy it or enjoy your follow-up.
