What to do and see in Cappadocia, Turkey: The Best Museums
Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area.

Ebru art, Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. NAİLE BOZKURT Intangible cultural heritage is CARRIERS. WHAT IS EBRU? One of the most common methods of decorating, bookbinding the endpapers of hand-bound books is Ebru. Classic Turkish Ebru, which is also known as Turkish marbled paper, is made by drawing designs with paint on water, and then carefully placing paper (or materials, such as glass etc.) on the surface of the water in order to absorb the paint. Ebru seems magical, and yet it is improbably simple. The basics haven’t changed very much over the past several hundred years. It still involves depositing bits of color on the surface of water.

One of the top attractions in the region, this outdoor museum contains the remains of many churches carved into the famous Cappadocia stone. Of note are the many excellent frescoes that can be seen when exploring the various structures.

Cappadocia-- Located in central Turkey is known for its distinctive " fairy chimneys," tall, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Göreme and near by valleys. This by far has been one of my favorite places to visit, with a moon like landscape, underground cities, cave churches daiting back to the Byzantine era and houses carved in the rocks! This region took my breath away...
