Based on our experience, we made this article with recommendations where to stay in Cappadocia with the best hotels and villages to sleep.
If you are going to travel to Turkey you have to visit Cappadocia, with a landscape that looks more like the moon than our planet. This place has its origin in the continuous erosion of rock formations caused by wind and rain.
Its main beauty lies in the pinkish, yellowish and brownish colors of the formations, the depressions and valleys and the pointed peaks of ancient mountains, which give the area a colorful and irregular surface.
