Cappadocia Turkey Fairy Chimneys

Of the many fascinating places in Turkey to visit, travel to Cappadocia must be on your itinerary. Located in central Turkey, the Cappadocia region offers a stunning and surreal landscape. The fairy chimneys, also called hoodoos or tent rocks by geologists, will immediately capture your attention with their conical caps topping columns of rock. Scattered throughout the Cappadocia valley, the fairy chimneys nestle amongst old and new villages, some even with cave houses inside to further one’s imagination. Others stand guard in the countryside, hiking trails and awe-struck visitors circling their bases.

My daughters loved the idea that fairies lived inside. It was easier for them to believe the houses were for fairies instead of Turkish families. Travel to Cappadocia and Turkey. It’s a magical, historical, friendly country whose fairy chimneys will capture your imagination.
