Uchisar Castle

Uçhisar Castle is the highest point in Cappadocia, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the entire region. Located in the village of Uçhisar, just a short drive from Göreme, this towering natural rock formation was used for centuries as a fortress and lookout point. Carved out of soft volcanic tuff, the castle contains a maze of tunnels, rooms, and passageways that once served as homes and shelters for local inhabitants.Climbing to the top of Uçhisar Castle is a highlight for many visitors. From the summit, you can see iconic Cappadocia landscapes—fairy chimneys, valleys, Mount Erciyes, and on clear days, even the distant horizon of central Anatolia.

Zelve Open Air Museum

The Zelve Open Air Museum is one of Cappadocia’s oldest and most enchanting cave settlements, offering a blend of history, culture, and natural wonder. Located just a few kilometers from Paşabağ, Zelve was once a thriving community where Christians and Muslims lived side by side until the mid-20th century. Unlike Göreme, which is known for its richly decorated churches, Zelve’s charm lies in its raw, untouched appearance and the feeling of walking through a deserted village frozen in time.Spread across three valleys, the museum features an array of carved dwellings, churches, monasteries, mills, and even a mosque—testifying to centuries of continuous life. The landscape is marked by fairy chimneys, tunnels, and steep rock faces, with paths that lead visitors through homes, schools, and religious spaces carved directly into the soft tuff.
