Travel Tips
Cappadocia The Land of Beautiful Horses

Cappadocia, with its surreal landscapes, ancient history, and rich cultural heritage, is often called "The Land of Beautiful Horses." But have you ever wondered why this magical region earned such a name?


Why is Cappadocia Called "The Land of Beautiful Horses"?


The name "Cappadocia" comes from the ancient Persian word Katpatuka, which translates to "Land of Beautiful Horses." This name was given because, in ancient times, the region was famous for breeding strong, elegant, and fast horses. These horses were highly valued and often gifted to Persian kings and used in battles.


Even today, Cappadocia continues its deep-rooted equestrian traditions. The vast valleys, breathtaking fairy chimneys, and historical trails make it the perfect destination for horseback riding enthusiasts.
