Turkey is a wonderland with its diverse region. Any corner of the country is varied than every single else.
Cappadocia is frankly the highlight of Anatolia! An extraordinary story of the geology resulted as this fairy land. An artistic sculpturing of nature turned some volcanic tuff deposits into a fantastic landscape. Minaret shape pillars of rocks rises from the valleys of Cappadocia among the vineyards. Rock carved ancient houses and hidden churches with frescoes still stand in amazing spots. The past just hugs the present in daily life in Cappadocia where we have some of the most beautiful hikes of Anatolia. This part of the trip puts a spell on every visitor’s life.
In this itinerary the trails in Cappadocia will take you into the deep history of Anatolia as well as the outstanding geological story. Snowshoeing along the valleys is the best way to
explore without missing anything out.
Lonely trails, well equipped camps and self-conscious & well-trained staff are the key words for this trekking trip.
We invite you this ‘’once in a life time experience’’!
