The region, which includes Nevşehir, Kırşehir, Niğde, Aksaray and Kayseri and is generally called Cappadocia, 60 million years ago, the ash and soft layer of the volcanic land created by Erciyes Mountain, Güllü Mountain and Hasan Mountain has been affected by wind and It is a very characteristic region shaped by the erosion by rain water. Although natural conditions form the basis of this region, the lives lived in fairy chimneys carved by human hands here constitute the real magical side of Cappadocia.
Traces of human life in this region date back to the Paleolithic period. The region, where the Hittites once lived, later becomes one of the important centers of Christianity. The underground cities, fairy chimneys and caves in the region allow the Christians in the region to live safely in privacy during the Roman Empire period when Christianity was forbidden. There are many churches carved into the rocks and built in underground cities in the region.
