Nevsehir is located in the central part of the Anatolian plateau in the region of Cappadocia. According to one version, once on its territory was the ancient city of Nissa
Millions of years ago, as a result of the eruptions of Erciyes and Hasandag volcanoes, the Anatolian plateau was covered with a plentiful layer of tuff . As a result of weathering and erosion, a soft volcanic rock with time turned into the so-called "fairy chimneys", in shape resembling pyramids and cones, of a different color - from pink to green and yellow .The slopes of the mountains approaching the outskirts of the city are dotted with dozens of yawning dips - the dilapidated dwellings of Nevsehir people of the past . This is one of the few cities in Cappadocia where people, like five hundred years ago, live in tuff caves, refurbishing them into modern dwellings . Live so it is not completely safe - there are collapses . After one of them, which took several lives, the Turkish government was seriously concerned about the resettlement of people to ordinary houses, which, however, are now interspersed with old dwellings .
Traditionally about novnymi articles Nevsehir income considered carpet and viticulture. In recent years, the city has been profitable for tourism due to its proximity to the underground cities of Kaymakly and Derinkuyu and the famous rock churches.
