Turkey Opens 3,200-Year-Old Cave Houses

Turkey's tourism has taken a nosedive over the last few years due to security concerns and the country is hoping to alleviate some of the losses by opening a new attraction, according to a report in the Daily Sabah.

"Local authorities first started the promotion of the cave houses, built 3,200 years ago by the Phrygians, 10 years ago but the district has yet to attract as many tourists as were expected, media outlets reported Thursday," reports the Daily Sabah.
