Two mountain chains, one in the north and one in the south, shape Turkey's varied landscapes. Between them lies the Anatolian plateau. Volcanoes like the Hasandagi (3253 m) and Erciyes (3916 m) helped create the curious Cappadocia landscape, which is made of colourful cone-shaped tuff formations. Furthermore, gorges, white water rivers and beautiful mountains, the highest of them being Mt. Ararat (5165 m), typify the landscape. These characteristics make Turkey highly attractive to outdoor and adventure enthusiasts.
