9. Fairy Chimneys

They are made up of volcanic ash and tuff, and are typically between 30 and 40 meters tall. They are called "fairy chimneys" due to their unusual and whimsical appearance. The fairy chimneys have been shaped by the wind and rain over millions of years and are one of the main features of Cappadocia's unique landscapes. Many of them have been carved into by people, and are now home to a variety of structures such as homes, churches, and storage rooms. They are also a major tourist attraction and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
10. Avanos
The small town of Avanos in Cappadocia is famous for its distinctive red earthenware pottery, which has shaped its reputation since the days of the Hittities in the Bronze Age. Situated on the banks of the longest river in Turkey, the Kızılırmak (Red River), the lovely old town overlooks the red silt of the river which has been both the lifeblood and the destiny of Avanos. Small pottery workshops still cluster in the narrow streets of the old town and here you can learn how to throw a pot and buy the local ceramics. There are also larger warehouses on the outskirts of town. Avanos is also a great base for exploring the rest of Cappadocia: the fairy chimneys at Zelve, the underground cities of Ozkonak, Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı, and the rock churches with their Byzantine frescoes in the Göreme National Park.
11. Ihlara Valley
The valley was probably first inhabited in the 4th century AD, initially by hermits and priests as a place of solitude; but the natural defences of the gorge attracted new converts to Christianity, some fleeing persecution by the Romans
12.
Belisirma is a gifted village thanks to its location. The landscape is more forgiving around Belisirma. As a result, Cappadocians built the village from the top to the bottom of the Ihlara Valley. That creates a scene full of cute little stone houses scattered to the slopes of Ihlara Valley. Even if the houses look very tiny from a distance, each house reaches a big cave system in thunder ground carved into the natural volcanic tuff. The houses are reaching the bottom of the valley where you can find many restaurants established right by the water.
13. Selime Monastery
Selime monastery is the biggest religious building in Cappadocia with a cathedral-size church. Inside the cathedral there are two rows of rock columns. These columns divide the cathedral into three sections. The size of the church is astonishing. The columns and arches of the church, cut directly from the tuff within the Selime monastery, still bear the tell-tale markings of various generations that once occupied it. Rudimentary icons from the early days can be seen more clearly, but detailed frescoes, painted later, are barely visible under the years of soot that covers the surfaces from when the Turks used the room for cooking.
14. Belisirma

Our off-road Jeep tour experience was nothing short of excellent! Ahmet, our driver and guide, truly exceeded all expectations. He not only catered to our requests but also went above and beyond to capture incredible pictures and videos of our adventure. His expertise and enthusiasm made the tour unforgettable. In just two hours, we were able to explore places that we missed during our day tour, adding an extra layer of excitement to our Cappadocia experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this off-road adventure. Highly recommended!
