[Uchisar Castle night view / Uchisar Castle | The "Rock Fortress Floating in the Dark" at the pinnacle of Cappadocia]

[UchisarCastle Night View / Uchisar Castle | The "Rock Fortress Floating in the Dark" at the Peak of Cappadocia] — A magical moment when the rocky mountains and the city lights intersect fantastically on a silent night — The huge rock fortress, about 60 meters high, is lit up at night, and the caves and cityscape stand out fantastically. This night view, which can be seen far into the distance, shows a mysterious look that is completely different from the daytime . ⸻ 📍[Location] The castle itself, in the center of Uchisar Village. About 10 to 15 minutes by car or on foot from Goreme, via Pigeon Valley. Good access even at night 🕰️[Viewing Point] The night lighting starts about 30 minutes after dusk. At the observation point, the shadows of the rocks and the orange light, the lights of the village in the distance, and the stars in the night sky are well balanced, creating a breathtaking beauty. ⸻ ✨Recommended points • The shape of the rocks floating in the darkness stands out in three dimensions, and the outline of the castle stands out clearly • The beautiful contrast between the foot of the castle and the windows of the houses scattered around it gives a warm feeling • In the silence where you can see the starry sky, you feel like you have traveled back in time to a medieval fortress • The atmosphere is completely different from the daytime, and you can enjoy a moist and adult night view ⸻ 🎒 Tips • It gets cold at night, so wear warm clothes such as down or fleece! • It is difficult to see your feet, so it is reassuring to have a flashlight or smartphone light • There are few tourists at night, so it is quiet, so it is suitable for those who want to slowly soak in the scenery • After watching from the observation spot, having a light drink at a cafe or terrace in the village is the perfect time to relax and enjoy the afterglow☺️ #Absolutely free trip #Turkey #Cappadocia
