You step out of the minivan into a landscape that seems to have been shaped by a patient hand—soft hills cut into towers, pillars and mushroom caps. Dust from the lane lifts in the dry air as your guide gestures toward the first cluster of fairy chimneys; sunlight slides over the ochre and beige faces, and you can almost read the layers of volcanic ash that weathered into today's forms.

Cappadocia's cave churches and dwellings were carved into tuff between the Roman and Byzantine eras; many frescoes in Göreme date to the 10th–12th centuries.
The soft tuff erodes easily—stick to marked paths, avoid touching frescoes and support local guides and small businesses to help preserve sites.
