Castle in Goreme
Uchisar Castle
Uchisar Castle is the highest point in Cappadocia, a massive rock pinnacle riddled with tunnels and rooms carved by centuries of inhabitants. Entry is a small fee. The view from the top covers the entire Cappadocian landscape: fairy chimneys, valleys, and distant volcanoes. Budget travelers walk or take a cheap dolmus from Goreme, climb to the top, and get the panoramic view that hot air balloon passengers pay hundreds of euros for.
