NATIONAL PARK
Göreme National Park occupies an area of 40 km
between Nevşehir Province and Avanos and Ürgüp Districts
in Central Anatolia. Göreme valley is a plateau, located
on a formerly active volcanic area and was included on
UNESCO World Heritage List on 6 December 1985 following
the “Cappadoccia Preservation Project” realized by the
High Commission of Monuments on 10 July 1976.
The region, which inhabited numerous civilizations from
4th until 13th century, has a rather harmonious rural
appearance. Especially, the conical shaped rocks, known
as “Fairy Chimneys”, and rock surfaces were carved and
used for various purposes.
