Private Highlights Full-day Tour Of Cappadocia

The name "Cappadocia" was traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history and is still widely used as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage. The term, as used in tourism, roughly corresponds to present-day Nevşehir Province.

In the time of Herodotus, the Cappadocians were reported as occupying the whole region from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates and the Armenian Highland, to the to the north by Pontus and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.

Private Cappadocia Cultural full-day Tour

The green valley of the dam lake Mamasin and the Melendiz stream ends up at the village of Selime where one finds oneself faced with the church which bears the name of the village and which looks like an apartment house. This church and the fairy chimneys, as they are called scattered all around bewilder us and take us to an entirely different world. The Selime Church is a three-aisled basilica. It has an apse covered with a semi-spherical dome and two lateral apses.
The naves are separated from each other by two columns and a pillar. On the northern wall is a chapel with a trough vault. In the barrel- vaulted lateral naves the black and orange frescoes date from the Byzantine times illustrate scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. The tomb of Selime to which the village owes its name is here. The Ihlara Valley is on the left of the road of 36 km coming from Selime and passing through Yaprakhisar amongst other villages.
This place formerly called 'peristrema' cut in hard rock reaching some 80-90 m of height.
