The Narman Fairy Chimneys in Erzurum is one of Turkey's hidden treasures. They look very similar to the Fairy Chimneys in Cappadocia but different. In Narman, the chimneys resulted from years of water and wind erosion brought to a sedimentary basin from rivers. The fairy chimneys are three-million-years old. It is possible that you could even find fossils under the formations.
The Turkish name for fairy chimneys is Peri Bacaları.
