Things to do in Cappadocia

Monks Valley

For a glimpse of the world-famous fairy chimneys, you will have to be in the Monk Valley. The first inhabitants of Cappadocia thought it was the chimneys of fairies that lived underground. The valley owes its name to St. Simeon, who lived in the valley. In one of the chimneys, there is now a chapel dedicated to this man. You can visit the chimney and climb to the top.

Castle of Uchisar

Not far from Goreme is the village of Uchisar, built around a gigantic carved out castle. It is a true landmark because the rock full of cave houses peaks tens of meters above the village and can be seen from far in the distance. The complex is a labyrinth of tunnels and was used by the villagers as a refuge for centuries when enemy armies attacked the surrounded area. A climb to the top leads you to a fantastic view over the surrounding rocky valleys and in the evening you will witness the most beautiful sunset.
