US tourists experience village life in Türkiye's Cappadocia

NEVSEHIR, TÜRKİYE - SEPTEMBER 11: American tourists in Cappadocia stay in village homes as part of cultural tours, cooking with local vegetables and baking traditional bread while wearing regional attire in Nevsehir, Türkiye. Tourists who come to the Binici family's farmhouse collect vegetables and fruits in the garden and prepare meals with the harvested produce. Visitors have the opportunity to get to know Turkish culture up close and return to their countries with unforgettable memories. Professional tourist guide Selim Puler told AA that he accompanies tourists who want to get to know the Turkish family structure and culture, and they conduct tourism activities with a unique emphasis on interacting with the local people. Located in the central province of Nevsehir, Cappadocia, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has gained worldwide fame in recent years for its unique volcanic cones, known as fairy chimneys, as well as its underground cities, hot-air balloon rides, rock-carved houses, and early Christian structures such as churches, chapels, and shelters. The site has also become an increasingly popular destination for photography enthusiasts and social media influencers. While over 4.1 million tourists visited Cappadocia last year, Goreme Open Air Museum, Zelve Ruins, and Kaymakli Underground City were among the most attractive places.
