Cappadocia name used first time by the Persian as Katpatuka which
means "the land of the beatifull horses". Hittite people
also used the breed the horses in this region.
Hitites were the first civilization; 1800 b.c to 1200 b.c. Then
Thabals, Asyrian and Persians lived in there. Than Romans controlled
this rocky land. Cappadocia was a refuge and a shelter for early
christians during the Roman and Byzantine period. Than the region
becomes an important christian teaching center. So that locals carved
out over 300 cave churches and 30 underground cities.
Until 1924 local christians and the Turks were living in this area
together in the harmony atmospher.
Cappadocia is a geological poem written by time,by million yeared
wind and water sweeping or softly sliding by. The hand that shaped
these forms seems all but sentient, giving fantastic shape to a
world not quite of this planet.
This high scherzo of nature tarnsported calls the traveller to delirious
voyaging. In this magnificient voyage Blue Moon Motel invites you
to stay in the caves with first class comfort. |
