Central Anatolia is one of Turkey's few completely landlocked regions. The ancient cities of Boğazkale and Alacahöyük reveal the Hittite presence in this area during the 1st and 2nd millenia BC. Most of the artifacts from these places are now housed in museums, but visitors can imagine the impact and extent of the impressive civilization that once flourished in the region.
In the ancient Persian language, Cappadocia meant "land of beautiful horses" ,and in Roman times, brood mares from Cappadocia wereso highly prized that a special tax was imposed on their sale.
Trying to describe Cappadocia in physical terms simply does not do justice to do air of mistery that pervades the area.Remarkable conical rock outcrops, called Peri Bacaları (fairy chimneys), are the regions most famous and characteristic feature. Carved into the rock are scores of hidden chapels adorned with exquisite frescoes-ample proof of the strength of the Christian faith that was established here by the 4th century AD.
Over the centuries, Central Anatolia has nurtured vast armies and great empires, and its history and prosperty have always been linked to the land and agriculture. Today tourism has become the mainstay of the local economy, but the region still produced many of Turkey's cereal crops as well as grapes, vegetable oils and sugar beets. The diary of a 4th-century saint even records wine as a local product.
Kayseri, the major city, is known as much for its many varieties of cured beef as for its industrious but conservative inhabitants. A gentler side of the region is to be found near Amasya along the pictureque Yeşilırmak River.
