Cappadocia, Nevşehir, Turkey


Hurray! I received 2 amazing cards this week from Joao. This time postcards came to me from Turkey and they both are really wonderful!
Now I only dream to fly on a hot air balloon, but Joao and his wife already did it :) guys, you're cool!

Cappadocia, which was inscribed to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985 on natural and cultural criteria, is situated at a distance of 14 km from Nevsehir, and it covers a 40 square km area between the county seats of Avanos and Urgup.
Goreme National Park and Cappadocia is a unique design of nature with slopes full of fairy-chimneys, rich water resources at the base of the valley, abundant flora, and numerous rock cut, frescoed churches.

Cappadocia, which was sculpted out of the tuff of the Erclyes and Hasan Mountains through millions of years by sand and water erosion, became the seat of several civilisations, and a silent witness to the cultural history of Anatolia. Cappadocia also covers underground cities. These enchanting and only partially revealed subterranean cities of Cappadocia are believed to have deeper levels awaiting exploration.

It looks like really interesting place! ;)
