KAPADOKYA Kapadokya is Turkeys most visually striking region, especially the moonscape area around the towns of Ürgüp, Göreme, Uçhisar, Avanos and Mustafapaşa (Sinasos), where erosion has formed caves, clefts, pinnacles, fairy chimneys and sensuous folds in the soft volcanic rock. Although the volcanic landscape can appear inhospitable, the mineral-rich soil is excellent for growing vegetables and fruits, making Kapadokya a rich agricultural region. It has always been one of Anatolias prime grape-growing areas, and still boasts many productive vineyards and wineries. The Bibles New Testament tells of Kapadokya, but in fact this part of central Anatolia has been important since Hittite times, long before the time of Jesus.
