Cappadocia

The landscape of the area is some of the most unique you'll ever see. The fairy chimneys are bizarrely shaped rock outcroppings that have evolved from the unique geography in the area. There are hiking trails through the series of valleys that make up the area. It's a great place to explore for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
Trento
Amid stone castles of centuries past and Renaissance fountains, the ancient and modern world glide seamlessly together to create a quaint, elegant town. Trento is the capital of Trentino and is located on the Adige River valley. A most prominent city during the sixteenth century, Trento was once the location of the Council of Trent, wielding insurmountable power throughout the region. Though formerly part of Austria and Hungary-Austria, Trento finally was annexed by Italy in 1919. Because of its rich history, a great deal of breathtaking architecture can be found throughout the city, such as the Trento Cathedral and the Castello del Buonconsiglio. Despite its cultural and historic significance, however, Trento is also the capital of Italy's education, politics, and economy. From the top 30 universities in Italy, University of Trento ranks highly among them and has gained worldwide prestige. Compared to many other Italian metropolises, Trento is ranked highly for its quality of life, standard of living, and business and job opportunities for the population. In 2004, Trento was named the Alpine Town of the Year as well.
