Cappadocia, The Fairyland |
Welcome to the land of the fairy chimneys |
Cappadocia is a striking and unique region in central Turkey where nature and history come together and present one of the most beautiful sceneries of the world. While the geographic events were generating the fairy chimneys and many other interesting features of earth, human kind embodied an exceptional culture of living in a picturesque rock-cut world. Today, Cappadocia is one of the most attractive historical and natural sites of Turkey. |
You cannot go to Cappadocia without taking a trip in a hot-air balloon. All senses are awakened once you're floating over the wonderful landscape in silence, looking down at the tiny houses nestled into the Fairy Chimneys. The sight of first light where the stunning sun pierces through the clouds is an opportune time for that surreal photograph. |

Göreme Open Air Museum: Cappadocia as early as the 4th century became the motherland of the idea of Christian monasticism led by St. Basil who was a native of the region. This monastic complex is an iconic product of that tradition and consists of more than ten rock-carved churches decorated with amazing frescoes dating back to the 9th to 12th centuries. Goreme Open Air Museum is one of the greatest attractions in Cappadocia. |

Cappadocia region is famous for its subterranean safe cities carved from soft tuff. These underground cities, which are among the most interesting cultural richness of Cappadocia, take tourists from all over the world on a mysterious journey every year.
The underground cities in Cappadocia, interconnected by corridors, were used as hiding places by Christians in the 7th century. These subterranean cities were self-sufficient cities with granaries, stables, rooms, kitchens and ventilation systems. The most famous underground cities uncovered until now around Cappadocia are found in Derinkuyu, Kaymakli, Tatlarin, Ozkonak, Mazi and Ozluce.
Derinkuyu Underground City and Kaymakli Underground City were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985. Today, visiting these magnificent structures is one of the most splendid and attractive part of Cappadocia tours. |

Cave Hotels... The Definition Of Unique! |
Museum Hotel is one of the best cave hotels in Cappadocia region. Situated in a very special geographic region in Uchisar, Cappadocia. The special area where Museum Hotel is located consists of many cave and stone houses that are thousands of years old.
Where Museum Hotel is now located, it is known that the last inhabitants of the area were from the Tekeli clan, after which the district is named. The Tekeli clan was a famous nomadic Turkmen clan who brought to the region the renowned horse breed known as Akhal-Teke. It would seem certain that that Cappadocia, known in those times as the “Land of Beautiful Horses”, must have been extremely welcoming for the members of the Tekeli clan. |

Top Pick - Greek Island...Hydra!
Located in the heart of the Argo Saronic Gulf, pretty close to Athens, Hydra is, hands down, one of the most quaint Greek islands. Elegant stone mansions, narrow alleys, donkeys walking around, churches, little shops, and a picturesque waterfront set the scene of an island fairytale! Given that there are no cars in Hydra and people usually get around by foot, the island’s roads are not clogged with traffic and fumes. |

A Must Try!

When in Instanbul, you must try Meze, an excellent small restaurant opposite the Pera Palace hotel serving beautifully prepared local mezez plate. Here tradition takes on a new lease of life.

Where is Zogora?
The town of Zagora sits at the foot of Anti-Atlas Mountains and on the shore of the Draa Valley in South Eastern Morocco. Zagora’s allure is mainly attributed to the great Draa Valley, which is still a home for several of Morocco’s tribes. The name Zagora is derived from “Tazagort,” a mountain by the shore of Draa Valley overlooking the city.
For a unique experience, many bivouacs in Zagora offers a splendid atmosphere of desert night life for peace seekers, desert lovers and stars followers! |
