History
Cappadocia’s rock-cut settlements and churches reflect centuries of human adaptation—from early Christian hermitages to communities that carved whole villages into tuff.
Conservation
The soft tuff erodes easily; stay on marked trails, avoid climbing fragile formations and support local guides who practice low-impact visitation.
