Cave homes in Cappadocia, with its fascinating landscapes, lies in the central Anatolian highlands of Turkey. The plateau has an average height of over 1000 m and is marked by its steppe-like vegetation. It's climate varies between cold, damp winters and hot, dry summers. The landscape is studded with bizarre rock formations, the result of volcanic activity, wind and water. he great Roman politician and writer Cicero (1st century B.C.) described Cappadocia as a desert. But this can only have applied at the most to the steppes around the great salt lake. By contrast the two main cities, Kaisareia and above all Tyana, were situated in very fertile regions. Today, the landscape has retained much of its steppe-like character.
