The Kaymakli Underground City is located in the Nevşehir province, in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey, and was opened to tourists in 1964.
The ancient name of the city was Enegup, from the Greek of Cappadocia. The city of Kaymakli was connected to the underground city of Derinkuyu via a tunnel system of 8-9 km (5-5.5 miles), creating a network of underground locations, as in other cases around the world.
Description
The dwellings are built around about one hundred tunnels of the underground city, which are still used today as storage, stables, and cellars. The Kaymakli underground city differs from Derinkuyu in its structure: the tunnels are lower, narrower, and inclined.
