Uchisar Castle
Sightseeing
Directions

Get ready for the most incredible panoramic view in all of Cappadocia from the top of Uçhisar Castle, a massive fortress carved directly into a towering rock formation. It’s a bit of a climb to the top—about 275 steps—but the 360-degree vista of the surrounding valleys and iconic fairy chimneys is absolutely worth the effort and the small entrance fee. Once you're at the summit, you'll feel like you're on top of the world, with a perfect vantage point for unforgettable photos, especially at sunrise or sunset.
