Cappadocia region is the most beautiful integration of nature and history in the world. While geographical events formed the Fairy Chimneys, in the historical process, people carved houses and churches into these fairy chimneys, decorated them with frescoes, and carried the traces of thousands of years old civilisations to the present day. During the time of Roman Emperor Augustus, Strabon, one of the writers of the Ancient Period, in his 17-book book “Geographika” (Anatolia XII, XIII, XIV), states the borders of the Cappadocia Region as a wide region extending to the Taurus Mountains in the south, Aksaray in the west, Malatya in the east and the Eastern Black Sea coast in the north. Today's Cappadocia Region is the area covered by the provinces of Nevşehir, Aksaray, Niğde, Kayseri and Kırşehir. The rocky Cappadocia Region, which is a narrower area, consists of Uçhisar, Ürgüp, Avanos, Göreme, Derinkuyu, Kaymaklı, Ihlara and its surroundings.
