Cappadocia

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Enjoy these magical aerial views of the storied Cappadocia region of Turkey, compliments of former Drone Video of the Week Finalist tntrmedia.  Cappadocia covers parts of a half-dozen provinces near the geographic center of the country, on the Anatolian Plateau.  Due to the unique soil deposition and erosion patterns of the area, Cappadocia is dotted with unusual rock formations.  These "fairy tale castles" have in turn helped to turn Cappadocia into one of the world's top spots for hot air balloons.

Cappadocia (/kæpəˈdoʊʃəˌ -ˈdoʊkiə/Turkish: Kapadokya) is a historical region in Central AnatoliaTurkey. It is largely in the provinces of NevşehirKayseriAksarayKırşehirSivas and Niğde.

According to Herodotus, in the time of the Ionian Revolt (499 BC), the Cappadocians were reported as occupying a region from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates, to the north by Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.

The name, traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history, continues in use as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage.
