Hardly believing what we are seeing is actually real, the fairy chimney's of Cappadocia located in the center of Turkey are an exceptional natural wonder well worth visiting. These unique formations were formed as a result of volcanic eruptions fused together with rocks from the erosion of rivers and wind over thousands of years. The cave dwellings have been settled since 2nd Century BC and many inhabitants still live in cave homes.
