“Cappadocia Life and Travel Guide” is being published in a book format once in a year as a special edition of our magazine both in Turkish and English. The page number of the guide book is changing between 350 and 400 and it is designed as a Cappadocia travel and firm guide. First half of the guide is reserved for a detailed presentation of Cappadocia, thus one may find different and interesting information about more than 200 places to be seen in the region including Nevşehir, Aksaray, Kayseri and Niğde. Second half of the guide is reserved for information about distinguished tourism firms of Cappadocia. More than 450 photos are being used in the book to visually support the texts.
In the presentation part each firm has 2 pages and it is possible to find information about the started and boutique hotels, restaurants, vine producers, show and culture centers, travel agencies of the region, firms organizing outdoor activities such as horse safari, cross golf, mountain bike, trekking and hot air balloon, carpet, ceramic, pottery and onyx handicrafts producers and sellers, as well as antique dealers and organic farming producers.
It seems that Cappadocia Guide, with its particularity and with the need in the region will be used for many years as a publication which not only promotes Cappadocia in tourism fairs both in Turkey and abroad but also serves as a travel guide. Cappadocia Guide, a pioneer in its field, received an accreditation from Ministry of Tourism and Culture in 2008 when it was first published, in order to be distributed in tourism fairs abroad by the Ministry. On the same year, the guide was used as a textbook by Cappadocia Vocational College. Certainly all these developments made us happy and enabled us to keep hope for the future. Participation of 68 distinguished firms of Cappadocia in the guide for 2009 edition is the concrete exposition of the interest in our guide book.
