WELCOME TO CAPPADOCIA OCAKBASI

The Cappadocia’s have an exotic and varied lineage to boast of and claim an ancestry from almost all of the powerful tribes of Asia and Europe.

They vary right from Assyrians, Ancient Anatolian tribes, Hittites, Turkic tribes from Central Asia, Phrygians, Slavs, Persians, Syrians, Arabs, Kurds, Romans and Western Europeans, Armenians, Greeks to Mongols. A fertile region between the two volcanoes - Hasan Dagi and Erciyes Dagi, lays the region of Cappadocia. Known as Cappadocia in the ancient times, at present it is informally called the Cappadocia. The town lies to the east of Konya, and is surrounded by the Nigde in the south, Kirsehir in the north, Kayseri to the east and Aksaray to the west. There is a mention of Cappadocia as a large and important Roman province in the Bible's New Testament. However, this Central Anatolian region has been important since Hittite times, long before the time of Jesus.

Cappadocia is the cradle of one of the oldest civilizations of our world and the birthplace of many mysteries and legends, almost as if it is not real. Any travel lover would surely love to explore this fantastic place.

When you visit Cappadocia do take a taste of its cereals, potatoes and wine. But the fruits of this region are said to be the best in all of Turkey because of the pigeon droppings. However, local food is also famed in all of Turkey, so do have a helping each of the sea-bass, "Adana" skewers of flat kofte and round it off with the aniseed spirit raki and borek (pastry). Finally the best place to try this out is The Cappadocia Ocakbasi restaurant (Turkish delight )
