The region is characterized by one of the most unusual and beautiful landscapes in the world, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has classified it as a World Heritage Site.
What the region is most famous for are “fairy chimneys” or “devil’s tables,” which are column-shaped stones topped with rocks that look like mushrooms, and were formed naturally as a result of the influence of winds and weather factors on the volcanic rocks that the region abounds in.
Cappadocia is the center of hot air ballooning in the world due to the largest number of balloon flights throughout the year.
