Located within the boundaries of Nevşehir province, Cappadocia is a remarkable open-air museum built atop tuff rock formations created by millions of years of volcanic eruptions from Mount Erciyes, Hasan and Güllüdağ. With fairy chimneys, rock-cut churches from the Christian era, underground cities that once sheltered thousands of people, and breathtaking valley panoramas, this land was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
The Kingdom of Cappadocia, your hotel in Uçhisar, is only ~3.8 km from Göreme Open Air Museum, ~0.3 km from Uçhisar Castle, and ~1.2 km from Kılıçlar Valley. You are at the very heart of hot air balloons colouring the sky each morning and journeys deep into history.
