Cappadocia Turkey - Drone Video

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : The famous "fairytale chimney" rock formations of Cappadocia in central Turkey are not just natural phenomena. Centuries ago, various monastic orders began building monasteries in and atop these giant stone formations, which were created by the unusual sedimentation and erosion patterns in the region. Some of the monasteries here date to the third century AD, in the infancy of Christianity. Get a bird's eye view of this cultural treasure, compliments of contributor and drone pilot Nelstill.

Visit the #GoremeValley, the Cardak Underground City, stroll through the Valley of the Pigeon Lofts. Cappadocia, situated on the rugged plateau north of the Taurus Mountains, in the center of present-day Turkey, is like a patch of earth that appears to be detached from another world: strange geological formations, similar to lunar ones, underground labyrinths, fortresses, cities built underground.
