Historic Walking Area National Park Must See

• ©

Get a bird's eye view of the natural rock formations at Goreme National Park. As a World Heritage Site, the park's ancient structures have been protected from development. Many have been left untouched, though some were carved out and used as churches during the Roman period. More recently, some have been transformed into housing and restaurants. The park covers 40 sq km (15.4 sq mi), and while it may seem untraditional, the best way to see it is from above. Consider taking a hot air balloon ride over the entire park and, along with the landscape, you'll likely see dozens of other balloons in the distance. Ask your hotel for a suggestion on who to book with, as there are many companies throughout Cappadocia that organize these rides.

  Istanbul is the most important tourism center of Turkey with its historical peninsula. It's on the Unesco Cultural Heritage list. Nevşehir Urgup is the region within the triangle of Avanos and the national park contains the first things that come to mind when you say Cappadocia. Goreme open-air museum special and open-air museum dervent valley, pigeon valley hunters, lovers valley, Uchisar Ortahisar Pashabag, Cavusin, balloon tours pottery workshops onyx workshops... It is the most important cultural treasure not only in Turkey but also in the world. Go and see it. In addition, places such as Ihlara Mustafapasa Selime Narlake with Derinkuyu Kaymlı nearby should not be missed. You should see Cappadocia.
