With
a geological structure of volcanic formations, Urgup
was established within the region which had been shaped
into fantastic forms known as ‘Fairy Chimneys’, through
erosions of water and wind. The were formed as floodwater
poured down the sides of the valleys, combined with
strong winds which tore away the softer volcanic rocks,
resulting in this unique landscape. It is an important
centre in Cappadocia, and has been known by many names:
Osian (Assiana), Hagios Prokopios (Byzantine), Bashisar
(Seljuk), Burgat Kaalesi
