From the top of Uchisar Castle, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views over the entire Goreme Valley (where you will go exploring the picturesque Cappadocia frescoes). In fact, many of the best photos from Cappadocia are captured from this vantage point. Many locals have opened their homes as pensions, so it’s possible to enjoy this stunning view from the garden or even through the window of your own room.
As I mentioned, Uchisar Cappadocia feels like a place frozen in time, with its rock formations, the sprawling valley, and, of course, the castle. But take a stroll along its narrow streets, and you’ll find that despite its ancient aura, Uchisar has all the amenities of a modern small town. You can enjoy a nice meal and pick up a few souvenirs along the way.
While exploring, I wandered past the typical Turkish shops brimming with trinkets. Then, to my surprise, I looked up and saw a sign: Boutique de Paris.
Didn’t I tell you that you can find anything in Uchisar Cappadocia?

Cappadocia was one of the best places to go. I remember the thrill of hot air ballooning over the incredible landscape.
So envious! That’s one thing I have to go back for. 😀
Hah! Boutique de Paris. Marvellous.
But there has long been a fair degree of French influence in the area. Do you know, in Iran, the word for “Thank you” is “Merci”?
Didn’t know about Iran. It’s the same in Tunisia, same influence, “merci” for “thank you”. But it’s not the case in Turkey. So, they could have picked any European town, it would still be funny. 🙂
Such a great post, sadly when I visited Turkey in 2014 I didn’t quite get to Cappadocia. You have such a great guide here. This post is awesome!

It is a bit demanding, since it’s not “on the way”, but surely worth a visit. Thank you, glad you like it! 🙂
