He added that the density of visitors reached unprecedented levels during this period.
In turn, Argun Ishiq, a visitor to Cappadocia, said that he chose to spend the Eid holiday this year in Cappadocia.
He expressed his admiration for the tourist and archaeological attractions in the region.
The Cappadocia region is distinguished as one of the most strange and beautiful natural 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 the “fairy chimneys” or “devil’s tables”, which are column-shaped stones topped with rocks, which were formed naturally as a result of the influence of winds and weather factors on the volcanic rocks that the region abounds in.
