Cappadocia, in central Turkey, is an extraordinary landscape shaped by ancient volcanic eruptions and centuries of human ingenuity. Set on a rugged plateau north of the Taurus Mountains, the region is famous for its otherworldly rock formations, known as fairy chimneys, which rise like natural sculptures across valleys and hills.

For thousands of years, people carved into Cappadocia’s softened volcanic stone to create homes, churches, monasteries, and vast underground cities. These remarkable cave dwellings—some decorated with Byzantine frescoes—form one of the world’s most unique cultural and architectural legacies. Today, many are preserved within the Göreme Open-Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Your virtual tour brings you through these surreal landscapes, drifting past cone-shaped pillars, honeycombed cliffs, and ancient carved interiors. One of Cappadocia’s most iconic sights: hundreds of hot air balloons rising at sunrise, painting the sky with color as they float above valleys like Göreme, Love Valley, and Rose Valley.
