The underground city of Mazı, located in the southern part of Cappadocia, was used as a refuge during times of invasion.

Believed to date back to the early centuries of Christianity, it features stables, living quarters, wineries, and hidden passageways carved deep into the volcanic rock.

Unlike more touristic underground cities, Mazı offers a quieter, more intimate exploration of subterranean life.

Its narrow corridors and hidden rooms stir the imagination, revealing how entire communities once lived in secrecy and safety.
