Om
Hurtige fakta: Udskåret direkte i en tårnhøj vulkansk spids rejser denne fæstning sig 60 meter over det kappadokiske landskab og gemmer en hel underjordisk by inden for sine porøse stenvægge. Lokale boede i disse klippeudhuggede kamre indtil 1950'erne og brugte tunnellerne som beskyttelse mod invaderende hære i århundreder.
Højdepunkter: Fra toppen kan du se 360 graders udsigt over hele landskabet med klippeformationer, der strækker sig helt til Mount Erciyes 60 kilometer væk på en klar dag. Indvendigt findes stadig originale sodsværtede køkkenalkover, dueslag udhugget til gødningsindsamling og smalle trapper, der forbinder over 40 familiestore rum på flere etager.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, the carved stone staircases are uneven and there are no railings in many sections.
- Skip the ground-floor rooms and head straight for the summit first for the best photos before the crowds arrive.
- The tiny tea shop at the base sells fresh pomegranate juice, a perfect refreshment after your climb.
- Bring a flashlight to explore the darker tunnel passages, your phone light won't be enough to see the carved details.
