About Uçhisar

Perched at Cappadocia’s highest point, Uçhisar offers sweeping views of fairy chimneys and cave villages that make it one of the region’s most magical bases. Hotels here are as unique as the landscape—think luxe cave suites carved into rock for a once-in-a-lifetime stay, or stylish boutique spots blending tradition with modern comfort. Families often prefer the central areas near the castle, while couples looking for romance gravitate toward quieter hillside retreats with panoramic sunrise views.

The star attraction here is the castle, a towering volcanic rock riddled with tunnels, rooms, and even hidden churches, offering some of the best views in Cappadocia. From the top, you’ll see the valleys and fairy chimneys stretch out in every direction—a perfect reminder of why this spot still draws so many visitors. It’s also a wonderful base for exploring: stroll through Pigeon Valley on the trail to Göreme, linger over a meal in one of Uçhisar’s restaurants, or take to the skies on a hot-air balloon ride for that iconic Cappadocian panorama. Wine lovers shouldn’t miss the award-winning vintages at Kocabag Winery, which can even ship your favourites home.
