Ortahisar, Nevşehir
Ortahisar (Turkish: ''Middle Castle''), previously known by its Byzantine name Potamía (Greek: Ποταμία), is a small town in the Ürgüp district of Nevşehir province, in Cappadocia, Turkey. Ortahisar has around 3.500 inhabitants and is located about 20 km east of the provincial capital, Nevşehir. Until the mid-2010s Ortahisar was rather off-the-beaten-track when it came to Cappadocian tourism. It is now much better known and many boutique hotels have been created out of its fine old stone houses. In the early 1970s a young Scottish man named Craig Mair spent a year living in Ortahisar and wrote a book about his experiences called ''A Time in Turkey.'' Castle and churches The small town is dominated by a rock-castle in the centre of the town, which is called ''Sivrikaya'' by the inhabitants. It is an extraordinary example of the rock-cut architecture which is typical of the region and is believed to have served as a refuge from attackers in Byzantine times. The tow ...

Uçhisar
Uçhisar is a village in Cappadocia, in Nevşehir province, Turkey. It is 7 kilometres east of Nevşehir, 12 kilometres west of Ürgüp, and 10 kilometres south of Avanos. Situated on the edge of Göreme National Park, Uçhisar consists of an old village huddled around the base of a huge rock cone and a new one closer to the road that runs from Nevşehir town to Göreme. Like most of Cappadocia, Uçhisar once made a living from agriculture but now depends almost entirely on tourism, with many of its fine old stone houses turned into boutique hotels. French incomers and Turks returning from France have played a large part in the move to convert the houses into hotels. Uçhisar means 'Outer Citadel' in Turkish and refers to the huge rock cone that is its central feature. In 2000 a German woman called Evelyn Kopp bought a house in old Uçhisar and later published a book about the village, its history and traditions called Uçhisar Unfolding: The Many Faces of a Cappado ...

Göreme
Göreme (; grc, Κόραμα, Kòrama) is a village of around 2,000 people in Nevşehir province in Central Anatolia. It is well known for its fairy chimneys (Turkish: ''peribacalar''), eroded rock formations, many of which were hollowed out in the Middle Ages to create houses, churches and underground cities. Göreme was formerly known as Korama, Matiana, Macan and Avcilar. Göreme sits at the heart of a network of valleys filled with astonishing rock formations. It also has the most painted churches in Cappadocia. When the nearby Göreme Valley was designated to become the most important tourist centre for Cappadocia ( Turkish: ''Kapadokya''), the village's name was changed to Göreme for practical reasons. Once an agricultural settlement, modern Göreme is best known for its flourishing tourism industry, in particular for its hot air balloon rides and many boutique hotels created out of old cave homes. The village sits within the Göreme National Park which was added t ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
