Museums
and archaeological sites in Türkiye's famed Cappadocia region welcomed nearly 4
million visitors in the first 10 months of this year, according to local
authorities.
In
a statement, the Nevsehir Governorship said a total of 4.8 million people
visited the Cappadocia region last year, and 3.8 million visitors were recorded
this year from January to October.
The
Goreme Open-Air Museum, Zelve Archaeological Site, and Kaymakli Underground
City were among the most popular destinations for tourists in the region.
Nevsehir
Governor Ali Fidan encouraged both local and international tourists to take hot
air balloon tours and to explore the region’s iconic fairy chimneys,
underground cities, and valleys during the upcoming New Year holiday season.
With
nearly 4 million domestic and international tourists in the first 10 months,
the data shows that the positive momentum in tourism from last year is
continuing, Fidan said.
“Cappadocia
has some of Türkiye’s most-visited museums, archaeological sites, and
underground cities,” he added, noting that the Goreme Open-Air Museum was
visited most, followed by Zelve Archaeological Site, and Kaymakli Underground
City.
He
expressed a desire to expand conference and meeting tourism outside the peak
season with new hotels and facilities.
“We
are pleased to see continued interest in our province, our region, and
Cappadocia,” he said.
