Göreme National Park and the rock sites of Cappadocia comprise a spectacular landscape and geological oddity of honeycombed hills and towering boulders.

​According to Lonely Planet, Cappadocia's fantastical topography is matched by the human history, "People have long utilised the region's soft stone, seeking shelter underground and leaving the countryside scattered with fascinating cavern architecture. The fresco-adorned rock-cut churches of Göreme Open-Air Museum and the subterranean refuges of Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı are the most famous sights, while simply bedding down in one of Cappadocia's cave hotels is an experience in 21st-century cave living."
