Göreme, Cappadocia,Turkey

Cappadocia offers the traveler a fairy-tale landscape of caprock mushrooms, underground cities, early Christian cave art, and tufa pinnacles that punctuate the horizon. Many rock formations are inhabited (by people, not pixies) and some have been turned into hotels. Tufa is a consolidated volcanic ash that is easily eroded and easy to excavate. [2007]
