The province encompasses 5,467 square kilometers of diverse terrain, featuring underground cities, rock formations, and eight administrative districts including Acıgöl and Ürgüp.

The region contains numerous Byzantine-era churches carved into rock formations, dating back to early Christian communities seeking refuge from persecution during the medieval period.

The province integrates both agricultural traditions and historical preservation, with farmers cultivating the land while archaeological sites maintain records of ancient civilizations.

Located 290 kilometers from Ankara, Nevşehir Province connects to major Turkish cities through a network of highways and maintains regular bus services to all districts.
