A two day tour to Cappadocia from Alanya is a cultural tour that we offer with 1 night accommodation. Cappadocia is known for its unique and marvellous nature. Cappadocia is the common name for the province of Nevşehir and its surroundings in the Central Anatolia region. Cappadocia is about 500 kilometres from Alanya. In the region of Cappadocia, volcanic eruptions in the Erciyes, Hasan and Gullu mountains have formed a large plateau from volcanic tuffs. Together with the erosion of the Kyzylirmak River and the wind, chimney-like geological structures formed. Rocks and rock formations are marvels of nature. Cappadocia, which was the inhabited area of the Assyrian civilisation hosted Hittite, Phrygian, Persian, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman civilisations. The first Christians who escaped the persecution of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century AD came to Cappadocia through Antakya and Kayseri and settled here. These Christians founded underground cities in Cappadocia and hid in these underground cities whose gates were made in such a way that they could not be easily seen. The early Christians escaped from the persecution of the Roman soldiers. Because of this they had to live in the underground cities for long periods of time without being able to go outside. They developed these underground cities by building food halls, vents, places to make wine, churches, abbeys, wells, toilets and places to gather. On this trip you will also visit one of the largest caravanserais (old inn) of Anatolia near the town of Aksaray. If you want to take a trip from a busy resort to the real old Turkey then don't miss the 2-day Cappadocia tour from Alanya!
