History
Cappadocia’s carved dwellings and underground cities developed over millennia as people tunneled soft volcanic tuff to create homes, churches and refuges; many sites reflect Byzantine and early Christian uses.
Conservation
The soft tuff erodes easily—stick to marked paths, avoid climbing fragile formations, and support local conservation fees when offered.
