verifiedAskCappadocia says
Uçhisar Castle isn't a castle in the usual sense, it's the tallest rock outcrop in Cappadocia, honeycombed with tunnels and rooms and once used as a natural fortress and refuge. We picked it for the view: from the top you get one of the finest 360-degree panoramas over the whole region, with the valleys fanning out and Mount Erciyes on the horizon. Climb up for sunset, when the tuff glows gold and the village below softens, it's one of the most romantic moments in Cappadocia. The final stairs are steep and exposed, so take it steady and bring a layer for the wind at the top.
