In Cappadocia, an arid region in central Turkey, couples will find dramatic expanses of chimney-and-cone-shaped rock formations and splendid morning sunrises revealing the unique terrain of Anatolia. Surrounded by this otherworldly scenery, newlyweds in search of a truly-unique getaway can choose from a variety of off-the-beaten-path activities. Take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, explore underground cities, cruise along the coast, and stay in cave hotels during a Cappadocia honeymoon.
