Cappadocia
In ancient geography, Cappadocia or Capadocia,
Turkish Kapadokya (from
Persian: Katpatuka meaning "the land of beautiful horses",
Greek: Καππαδοκία / Kappadokía) was the name of the extensive inland district of
Asia Minor (modern
Turkey). The name continued to be used in western sources and in the
Christian tradition throughout history and is still widely used as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders characterized by
fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage. The term, as used in tourism, roughly corresponds to present-day
Nevşehir Province of
Turkey.
