Cappadocia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site it is famous for its rock formations.
The name Cappadocia is said to mean "Land of Beautiful Horses"
These rocks were formed by layers of sedimentary rocks from lakes and streams as well as volcanic deposits from 3 to 9 million years ago. The rocks near Göreme have eroded to form the fairy chimneys, towering pillars topped with roof-like formations.
