  Cappadocia This is what we came to Turkey for (Patrice anyway). Welcome to the land of Oz. To make a long story short, two volcanos deposited 100 meters of volcanic material in the Anatolian plain. The lava cooled into soft, easily workable rock. Erosion formed the fairy landscape, man appeared, took a chisel and hollowed it out for his own purposes - religion, shelter, commerce. The resulting landscape is an astounding team effort between man and nature.
