Ortahisar Castle
Ortahiza Castle is a more prominent geographical indication of Ortahiza. Its 18-meter-high stone wall was used to defend against invasion in the Byzantine period. Its majestic shape is even more peculiar than Uchisar Fortress. The viewing platform at the top of the castle can overlook the beautiful panorama of the town, and the reality show "Sister Over Flowers" has also been here. At the end of the main road from the town of Ortahisar is the castle. To reach this tall castle requires a steep climb. There is a small lookout in the middle of the castle, with a clear view of a cobble road winding along the valley, flanked by the ruins of some old stone houses. Continue to climb up, you will come to a wide viewing platform, overlooking the town from a high altitude, maybe you can discover the beauty of the other side of it.Ortahisar · 371m from downtown
Kizilcukur Valley
Kizilcukur Valley is located in the Cappadocia region of central Türkiye and is one of the iconic canyon views in the area, known for its colorful volcanic rock formations and spectacular sunsets. Volcanic eruptions millions of years ago formed thick layers of tuff, which, through long-term weathering and erosion, have been sculpted into unique landforms such as canyons, rock pillars, spires, and "fairy chimneys." Because the rocks are rich in iron, the valley presents a dreamlike scene of intertwined red, orange, and gold when illuminated by the setting sun. It features well-developed hiking trails, making it one of the popular hiking routes in Cappadocia. Along the way, you can admire undulating rock walls, natural caves, ancient rock-cut churches, as well as vineyards and orchards. Some of the rock-cut churches still retain Byzantine-era frescoes, showcasing the region's long religious history and cultural traditions. The valley also features several viewing platforms, making it a popular spot to enjoy views of Cappadocia's sunsets and hot air balloon flights.Avanos · 5 km from Urgup
Wish Hill
Hope Mountain is a hill located in the center of Urgup. It is an excellent place to overlook the town's 360-degree panorama. Every sunset, some tourists gather here to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Said to be a hill, it is actually a towering rock. Due to a rockfall incident in 2007, the viewing platform is now much smaller after renovation. It is worth mentioning that there is also a quaint little teahouse on the top of the mountain, where you can order a cup of Turkish coffee brewed in the traditional hot sand method at a very cheap price.Urgup · 117m from downtown
Ozkonak Underground City
In Nevsehir Province in the Cappadocia region of Türkiye, an astonishing underground labyrinth lies hidden—Ozkonak Underground City. It is vast, with ten levels and a vertical depth of about 40m, and its well-appointed interior is still awe-inspiring. Inside, there are not only kitchens, bedrooms, stables, granaries, and wine cellars, but also wells, ventilation systems, and heavy rolling stone doors. Compared with other underground cities, it features a unique defensive design and a pipe communication system that runs through all levels, allowing residents on different floors to exchange messages. Today, it maintains a constant temperature of 16–18°C year-round, making it not only a summer retreat but also a window into the survival wisdom of ancient people. Walking through the dim, winding tunnels and touching the weathered volcanic rock walls, visitors feel as if they have traveled through time, sensing the historical pulse of people who carved out homes here and struggled to survive.Nevsehir · 15.4 km from Urgup
