Uchisar Castle |
|
Uchisar Castle is the summit of Cappadocia and it is the most beautiful and highest fairy chimney in the region. The best way to visit Uchisar is to climb on the castle. From your hotel or your car parked at Kesek square you can walk to Uchisar castle. On your way you’ll admire the view of castle with hat, old uchisar houses and panorama of Cevizli area with its Fairy Chimneys. You take your ticket at the entrance of the castle and walking through uchi40the old barn and cuisine you start to climb to it. Already at the beginning of the steps the beautiful view of Erciyes Mountain and Pigeon Valley will take your breath away. As you arrive at the top of the castle you can have all Cappadocia under your feet. From Pigeon Valley to Avanos all valleys, Orta hisar Castle, Goreme Town, Goreme Open Air Museum, Kýlýçlar Valley, Kýzýlçukur, Gulludere and Cavuþin will lie in front of you with all their beauty. At the top of the castle you will see a lot of jars carved in the ground and rock graves. As you look down to west and southwest from the top of the castle you will see Nevsehir, Mount Gemil, Mount Hasan which is another high volcano of Cappadocia. Our castle is the only place in Cappadocia where both Hasan and Erciyes Mountains can be seen. It is not possible to describe the scenery of the recital of colors from the top of the castle at the sunset time. You have to come and see this romantism, this mysticism of the landscape when the moon shines fully over Cappadocia reminding the mysterious nights when the fairies carved out the stones to create these unbelievable shapes. For this reason a tour in Cappadocia without climbing on Uchisar Castle is not complete. |
