[edit]
Description w:Hot air balloon over Cappadocia.w:Cappadocia, a region in central w:Turkey, is known for its Göreme National Park, which was added to the w:UNESCO World Heritage List in w:1985.The first period of settlement within the region reaches to Roman period of Christian era. The area is also famous for its w:fairy chimneys w:rock formations, some of which reach 40 meters (130 feet) in height. Over thousands of years, wind and rain eroded layers of consolidated volcanic ash, or w:tuff, to form the sweeping landscape. From the 4th to 13th century AD, occupants of the area dug tunnels into the exposed rock face to build residences, stores, and churches which are home to irreplaceable Byzantine art. More than 500,000 tourists visit the region each year.
