Tuff Stone in Cappadocia
Outside of Goreme offers the wonderful landscape of the so called Rose Valley a very special view. The millions of years old tuff stone is shining in different and fascinating white, yellow and red color tones in the noontime or in the sunset light. Standing in front of the amazing rock formation is very impressive and a feeling like to be on another planet.
The landscape of Cappadocia (Kapadokya) in Middle Anatolia of Turkey was created about 30 million years ago. The ashes, which covered the earth by massive volcanic eruptions, became an erosive material called “tuff”. Through rain, wind and temperature fluctuations caused in the course of time various forms, such as cones in the stone or the so-called “fairy chimneys”, of which former residents of the region believed, that they were inhabited by fairies.
