Tourists visiting the Cappadocia region have a different experience in the Kaymaklı Underground City, which is 20 kilometers from the Central Anatolian province of Nevşehir, and go on a journey through time in tunnels of thousands of years.

Turkey's world-famous Cappadocia region, home to fabled fairy chimneys and stunning balloon rides, welcomed over 60,000 tourists this May, local tourism officials said in a statement on June 11.

According to authorities in the central Nevşehir province, 61,634 people visited 17 top tourist sites in Cappadocia.

Cappadocia, located in the Central Anatolian province of Nevşehir, and a popular tourist hotspot in Turkey, hosted 87,000 visitors in last month amid the ongoing pandemic.

An Istanbul court has acquitted a woman who was imprisoned three years ago after killing her allegedly abusive husband with a knife. 

The Bakırköy 13th Heavy Penal Court ruled late on July 4 that Yasemin Kaymaklı had committed the killing as a result of "going beyond the limit due to fear and panic," Doğan News Agency reported.
