Mazı Underground City is an ancient underground settlement in Cappadocia in central Turkey. The city is one of many subterranean cities in Cappadocia.
Since the road leading to Mazi was only paved a few decades ago, the village hasn’t seen as much tourism as the rest of the area. The town center is located up on a hill which, in the past, was a way to help prevent the village from being attacked by pirates. It overlooks the Gokova Bay. Nearby you can visit the bays of Yasli Yali and Ince Yali. Visitors can also visit Kargili, Feslikan, Kissebuku and Adayali beaches by fishing boat. Due to its location on the sea, Mazi is an ideal location to go swimming.
