Description
G�reme, located among the "fairy chimney" rock formations, is a town in Cappadocia, a historical region of Turkey. It is in the Nevşehir Province in Central Anatolia and has a population of around 2,500 people.
Former names of the town have been Korama, Matiana, Maccan or Machan, and Avcilar. When G�reme Valley nearby was designated an important tourist destination, a "center" for all tourism in Cappadocia, the name of the town was changed to G�reme for practical reasons.
The G�reme National Park (G�reme Milli Parklar in Turkish) was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
