About Uçhisar

Uçhisar is a Cappadocian village crowned by a honeycombed rock citadel, with wide views over fairy chimneys, valleys and dawn balloons.

Uçhisar stands in the middle of Cappadocia in central Turkey, around a huge natural rock pierced with rooms, tunnels and windows, one of the highest viewpoints in the region. The rock, a citadel carved from soft volcanic tuff, can be climbed for a panorama over the villages and valleys around. The village below has stone houses on steep lanes, many of them converted to hotels and cafés.
