Turkey's Cappadocia fairy chimneys is an 'experience not to be missed'
E-mail Print

Tourism board promotes the country's adventure holiday opportunities

Turkey offers many activities and attractions that are unmissable for people on adventure holidays, perhaps none more so than the "breath-taking" fairy chimneys of Cappadocia, according to the country's tourism office.

A fairy chimney, also known as a hoo doo, is a sedimentary rock formation that stretches out from arid drainage basins. Those of Cappadocia, a central Turkish region, are considered some of the best in the world.

Joanna Marsh, the press relations co-ordinator for the Turkish Culture and Tourism Office, has said that Turkey offers adventure holiday-makers chances to take part in many different activities.

"Thrill seekers should try paragliding over the spectacular blue lagoon of Oludeniz - the two kilometre descent from the top of Mount Baba Dagi is not for the faint-hearted," she said.

"But the views are simply breath-taking. A hot air balloon ride over the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia is another experience not to be missed."
