Description

Cappadocia was a centre of Greek culture for more than two thousand years. For most of its history, the old-time Ottoman Empire had a strong Greek presence, and presence of other Christian minorities, now almost gone from modern Turkey. In this podcast, I talk about Cappadocia's history and cultural relics as well as its freaky natural landforms, formed by the erosion of volcanic ash over millennia and hollowed out to form residences, churches and even whole underground cities!
