Ihlara in Turkey, Cappadocia resort
Rating: 8,7/10 (1918 votes)  The entire region of Cappadocia begins precisely from the Ihlara canyon. The canyon is of volcanic origin, its height – 150 meters, and the length – 16 kilometers. This valley is home to many Christian churches and cave houses. More than a hundred churches have been carved into the rocks. They began to be built in the 4th century AD. At first they were simple to execute, but from the 11th century they became more and more complex. Only 14 churches are open to tourists.
