Celia Grace NachuraNothing is quite as magical as a getaway in Cappadocia. An otherworldly landscape dotted with ancient valleys, rolling hills, rocky labyrinths, and the famous fairy chimneys, this sprawling region in Turkey’s Central Anatolia is a worthy addition to anyone’s bucket list. Hike the sweeping valleys, witness breathtaking sunsets, and drift over the storybook landscape on a hot air balloon. Sounds enchanting, right?
Locals have long carved caves and homes out of the sandstone rock formations, some available as one-of-a-kind Cappadocia Airbnb rentals for travellers hunting down an authentic stay for their vacation. Others prefer modern accommodations; you’ll find these throughout the region, too. From centuries-old cave houses to beautiful stone homes, there’s a picture-perfect Airbnb for everyone in beautiful Cappadocia.
