Kaymakli Underground City
Date Added: 3rd Jul 2013
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Turkey
Visited: Yes on 1st Mar 2002. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 4
Kaymakli Underground City submitted by Flickr on 26th Nov 2015. Passageway in the underground city of Kaymakli, Cappodocia, Turkey
Cappadocia is one of the prettiest areas of Turkey - rich in scenery and in history. About 1600 years ago, Christians fled the Romans and then Muslims and hid in this area - often in underground cities - absolutely fascinating. The natural scenery is also unique - laced with volcanos and looking like the surface of the moon. The rock formations are called Fairy Chimneys - very impressive. I took these photos in October 2008....
