Spring Travel in Turkey | The Bizarre and Dreamy Uchisar Castle!

Standing on the viewing platform of the town of Goreme, one can see a castle built against the mountain not far away. It is the Uchisar Castle, spectacular and peculiar! / ⭕️ 'About Uchisar Castle': Uchisar Castle, also known as Uchisar Fortress, is the commanding height of Goreme. The entire castle was carved out of a 60-meter-high boulder. Early settlers hollowed it out to create an interconnected fortress. In case of enemy invasion, the residents could use the food and water stored in the cave for several months. / ⭕️ 'Recommended Activities': ✔️ Inside the castle: Buy a ticket to enter the castle, pass through the cave rooms inside, and climb to the top of the castle along the steps. The view is quite expansive, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. ✔️ Outside the castle: There are also many beautiful, fun, and photogenic spots around the castle, with several guesthouses and cafes nearby. It is highly recommended to visit a nearby cafe, Cliff Cafe, which has great views and reasonable prices. For photography, the recommended spot is the foot of the castle, where many angles are quite nice. / ⭕️ 'Ticketing Time': You need to buy a ticket to enter, 250 lira per person. Opening hours: 7:00—20:00 ⭕️ 'Transportation Tips': Take the bus from the bus station in Goreme town (towards Nevsehir direction), get off at the first stop after leaving the town, Uchisar town, and walk about 500m to reach.
