2025 Ortahisar Belediyesi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Türkiye 🇹🇷 Ortahisar Castle, Three Sisters Rock and Camel Rock There are countless strange rocks and stones near Goreme, but here are a few of the more famous ones. Camel Rock is right next to the road and looks a lot like a camel, and there are also baby camel-shaped rocks nearby that look like they are hatching. The Three Sisters Rocks are located on the way to Ortahisar Castle and look a bit like the stone dolls you’ve seen before in Macedonia. Compared with Uchisar Castle, Ortahisar Castle is smaller in size. We only took photos outside and did not enter the castle. We only took aerial photos to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Turkish 🇹🇷 Ortahisar Castle, Three beauties, and Camel Rock Close to Göreme, there are many unique rock formations. Camel Rock, resembling a camel, is by the road with smaller camel-shaped rocks nearby. Three beauties, on route to Ortahisar Castle, resemble stone dolls I saw in Macedonia. Ortahisar Castle is smaller than Uçhisar Castle. We took exterior photos and enjoyed the view from above, without going inside.

Cappadocia in Türkiye is full of unique natural landscapes and is set in a medieval atmosphere!

Last time I stayed at Elika Cave Suites, there was a large terrace and the hotel's restaurant was also uniquely decorated. It was a great experience! #Turkey #Cappadocia #CaveHotel #cappadocia

During the trip to Cappadocia, in addition to hot air balloons and strange rocks, there is also a low-key but charming place - Ortahisar. This town is not as lively as Goreme or Uchisar, but it has a simple beauty that makes people slow down and savor it. The top of the castle overlooks the magnificent scenery The most striking landmark of Ortahisar is the Ortahisar Castle. This natural rock castle was once a strategic fortress, and now serves as a great viewing point for admiring the town and the surrounding rocky landscape. Standing on the top of the castle and looking at the unique landforms of Cappadocia, it feels like you are in a painting. Explore the alleys and discover the local customs Walking slowly along the winding alleys of the town, you will find many old stone houses, cave homestays, handicraft shops, and even small cafes hidden in the corners.

Hidden Food and Local Experiences Ortahisar has many traditional restaurants serving authentic Turkish cuisine such as Testi Kebab and local wine.

Visiting Balkan Deresi was a wonderful and enchanting experience. Balkan Deresi is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Balkan Peninsula, located in the eastern mountain ranges of the peninsula. This valley is characterized by captivating beautiful landscapes and charming beauty. When I arrived at Balkan Deresi, I was immediately impressed by its charming beauty. The landscape surrounding the valley was incredibly picturesque. Mountains covered with green trees were rising around us, and the place gave a sense of stillness and tranquility. The trees seemed to be dancing happily under the sun, twinkling away. I went on an exploration tour of the valley, and there was a paved road surrounding the flowing water. The sound of the flowing water was playing a calm and soft symphony, and the view of the clear and pure water was captivating. I felt as if I was walking above the clouds. The waves were gently touching my legs, and small fish were swimming beside me. My experience in Balkan Deresi was unforgettable. It was a visit filled with happiness and peace of mind. The natural beauty, fresh air, and wonderful views make this valley one of the splendid tourist destinations in the Balkan Peninsula. It is a place worth visiting for those who love nature, stillness, and beauty.

#freehotelstay We did stay in goreme for 2 nights. But we decided to stay in this beautiful property which was about 2 miles away from Goreme city. The hotel was so pretty. The interior gives you vibes of an art hotel. Antiques and artefact. They have a private cave pool on the underground level of your room. It was breathtakingly beautiful. This town is so so magical and during the night. Looks like a fairy tale. The people are wonderful. Food is affordable and very tasty. I wish we had more time exploring the town. Our hotel provided us amazing breakfast. I felt like a royal while being served my breakfast. So many options. Overall a great trip to remember.
