• The Underground Cities: Cappadocia is home to several underground cities, such as Derinkuyu and Kaymakli, which were used as places of refuge during times of invasion.

• The Ihlara Valley: A 14 km long canyon, home to several rock-cut churches, and monasteries, the valley was also a perfect spot for hermit monks who lived in the caves and rock-cut dwellings in the valley walls.
