Uchisar is a small village of Cappadocia that has some of the most luxurious hotels in the region. It is located close to Goreme Open Air Museum and can be explored within a day or will serve well as an ideal base to explore beautiful Cappadocia.
Uchisar is very hilly and those with walking difficulties will find problems on steep streets and hills. From the top of Uchisar is the castle and one of the most magnificent views of the landscape. Walking around Uchisar will bring a smile to your face as you come across the unique police station and quiet cafes that are located in caves.
From the heights of the Uçhisar citadel, you have a magnificent and unrivaled view of the whole region.
Uçhisar Castle / Landlord’s Castle, (The big rock on top of the hill in Uçhisar). The view from the top of this massive rock with a number of rooms carved into it is well worth the price of admission. The path to the top is strenuous but short, mostly stairs and relatively safe. 5 TL. edit
There are also many similar hand carved rooms and tunnels you can explore in the nearby Pigeon valley. Less stairs, perhaps less safe.
Uchisar is situated at the highest point in Cappadocia, The top of the Uchisar Castle, provides a magnificent panorama.
It is a must see, nice view, careful during rain it should be slippery, late afternoon is he great time to see
A steep climb with a rewarding view from the top. It was very windy the day we were there so we didn't stay long at the top. The caves were interesting as we walked in and out of them.
We were staying in Uchisar village so the castle was just a few minutes walk up the hill from our accommodation. The castle is hewn out of the rock and worth a look. It only cost TL 5.00 and could be completely explored in 40 minutes.
Right next to the castle there are some other rock dwellings that you can…
You are able to get a fantastic view of the entire valley with some good exercize while you are at it.
much effort to reach the top of this castle.
better drop yourself at uchisar before sunset.
just like other attraction in Cappadocia and around, use your most comfy sneaker and well-absorb shirt. there is drink seller at the top.
the view on the top is stunning especially when its sunset.
From many vantage points in Goreme you can spot the pyramid shape of Uchisar Castle jutting up from the western horizon. Its steep sides appear daunting from a distance, prematurely giving the weak-kneed an excuse to avoid its summit. However, these two late 50ish desk jockeys reached the summit of the castle with relative ease, so don’t be easily discouraged…
Cappadocia region is incredible overall with its unique nature. Uçhisar Castle is a great representative of what to expect from your trip in Cappadocia. It takes about 15 minutes to climb up the castle through the ancient stairs. The tiring climb will be worth your while once you get to the top of the castle and look around to see…
Uchisar Castle is the best place to get an awesome view of the whole Cappadocia at sunset.
Indeed a place with nice view of region.The only bad thing is that in evening you can "meet" a million of flies.
Fantastic views from the Castle. Lots of steps to climb but well worth it when you get to the top and can see the whole of the surrounding areas.
