This year alone, 83 television channels from 23 nations have filmed documentaries and travel shows on the popular Central Anatolian region known for its fairy chimneys and underground cities, which span back to the 6th century BC.

The Cappadocia region, which is largely situated in the Central Anatolian province of Nevşehir is not only one of Turkey's most important culture tourism centers, known for its fairy chimney landscape, cave dwellings and historical underground cities which span back to the 6th century BC, has fast become a highly appealing filming location with 83 state and private television channels from 23 different nations having already shot documentaries and travel shows in the region in the first ten months of this year alone.
