thank you Randy,
what I found is that it some strange place where the peoples lives in cave houses until the seventies of the last century,as I have been told by the locals,and I have found some peoples lives till the last years in some cave houses,I have found three,
and here what is written in encyclopedia Britannica about it:
ancient district in east-central Anatolia in the rugged plateau north of the Taurus Mountains, important as a Roman ally, client, and, later, province. The earliest records of Cappadocia date from the 6th century BC, when its feudal nobility was dominated by a Persian satrapy and Zoroastrian temple cults were widespread. The area retained its Persian character until the time of the Roman occupation. Alexander the Great bypassed Cappadocia but sent troops under his general Perdiccas (322 BC). Cappadocia fell into the dynastic orbit of the Seleucids until the Roman victory at Magnesia (190 BC). Afterward, it maintained a faithful allegiance to Rome despite the Pontic and Armenian attacks of the 1st century BC. Retained as a client state by Rome until annexed by Tiberius in AD 17, Cappadocia, with command over strategic passes in the Taurus, remained a bulwark of the Byzantine Empire until the 11th century.
be well and fine.
Saad.

An interesting place to visit Saad but maybe I did not catch the purpose of the title drawing attention to the trees with respect to the far more interesting background.

The most of all on this photo I do love your title Saad !!!
Fine control of exposure, fine details and tones of your photo and presentation, nice "reattaching" of the left side of the frame.
Best wishes,
Srna
