Cappadocia’s soft volcanic tuff allowed ancient settlers to carve dwellings, churches, and underground cities from the rock from Hellenistic to Byzantine times.
Balloon operators and tour providers work with local authorities to limit takeoff sites and manage visitor flow; keep to marked areas and avoid littering to protect fragile tuff formations.
