Cappadocia will rock your world

Cappadocia will rock your world

Fairy chimneys, cave hotels, underground cities make region a true Turkish delight

By ROBIN ROBINSON, QMI Agency

GOREME, Turkey -- To describe Cappadocia as "rocky" is an understatement of monolithic proportions. Once an ancient kingdom, the historical region is now officially part of central Turkey. Rock-filled vistas rise up to greet the eye at every turn: Valleys overflowing with fairy chimneys. Minaret-shaped pillars sculpted by centuries of wind and water. Cave houses carved into steep hillsides. Cave churches with ancient frescoes. Cave cities that once sheltered ancient residents from invading armies.
