2025 Tekelli Mahallesi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Girls! On the "Martian surface" of Türkiye, my 6-year-old daughter actually talked to an owl using cave paintings! This place, Cappadocia, where even *Star Wars* was filmed, hides 10 amazing cave hotels. They even deliver breakfast baskets by hot air balloon🎈! ✨【Sultan Cave Suites: The carpets came alive!】 The moment I rushed onto the terrace, I was almost breathless from the beauty! The Turkish carpets everywhere are definitely not for walking on—the photogenic butler taught my daughter how to pose like she was flying, and even gave her magic coins to exchange for ice cream afterward🍦! The cave bathtub in the room has a built-in starry sky projection, and while my daughter was soaking, she suddenly shouted, "Mom! There are ancient fairies dancing on the wall!" 🦉【Museum Hotel: A baby owl hatched from an antique bathtub】 Living in the cave palace of Uçhisar is a treasure hunt every day! My daughter was studying a bronze candlestick with a magnifying glass when suddenly a snowy owl popped out of the antique bathtub🦉! The heated pool is perfect for watching hot air balloons take off, and the waiter brought us glowing cotton candy. After one bite, my daughter declared, "This is a ticket for the Hogwarts Express!" 🐕【Artemis Cave Suites: A golden retriever tour guide leads the treasure hunt】 Who can resist Max, the golden retriever guide? This star dog led my daughter with a map to find hidden caves, and she even dug up a wish bottle left by a previous guest💌. The best part was the Turkish bath, where the masseuse used hot stone slabs to give my daughter a "cave sandwich." Her cheeks were as red as pomegranate juice when she came out～ 🎈【Kelebek Special Cave Hotel: Wake-up call from a hot air balloon】 I woke up at 5 am to the beautiful reflection in the pool! This sister hotel of the Sultan is the king of cost-effectiveness; you can enjoy the same terrace for half the price. The staff lowered our breakfast in a hot air balloon-shaped basket from the courtyard, and my daughter was so excited she almost smeared jam all over the rock walls🍯! It's super convenient to walk to the town, and buying my daughter a fairy cape instantly transformed her into a local～ 🌙【Lunar Cappadocia Hotel: An alien appeared at the open-air cinema】 The night on the garden terrace was so magical! The projector played *E.T.* on the moon-like landscape, and a real hot air balloon floated by just as the spaceship took off in the movie👽! My daughter ran after the shadows with a glowing fairy wand and finally fell asleep in a hammock, counting the stars～ 💡Hard-earned tips: 1️⃣Request a room "with a window" when booking! We stayed in a windowless cave once, and my daughter said it felt like being swallowed by a troll. 2️⃣Museum Hotel is the top choice for kids! Heated pool + antique bathtub, with a super stable hot water supply. 3️⃣The Wi-Fi at Sultan Hotel is indeed terrible, but the butler thoughtfully provides offline treasure maps. 4️⃣The best season for hot air ballooning is May–September, so remember to book a hotel with a wake-up call service. When we checked out, my daughter buried her magic coin in a crack in the rock: "For the next kid, as a key～" Who understands? My daughter, raised in this alien landscape, even dreams of piloting a hot air balloon castle～ Next year, when I save enough money, we'll come back and chase the sunset on ATVs🏍️!

Located on the hillside under Uchisar Castle, the hotel is rebuilt from caves and houses with thousands of years of history, overlooking the magical and magnificent Cappadocia like another planet. When you walk into the hotel, you will find yourself in a museum. The founder of the hotel is an antique collector who has devoted his life to this hotel full of history and culture. Here, you can fully experience the culture of Cappadocia. All rooms and the hotel inside and outside are decorated with priceless antiques, which are registered in the Nevsehir Museum.

Located in Uchisar Castle, you need to take a bus to the town of Uchisar. It takes about ten to fifteen minutes to walk after getting off the bus. It is easy to find a straight road. It was cloudy when I first arrived, so I didn’t take any photos of the blue sky and white clouds. The sun came out when I left🥲 The Love Cave is right at the bottom. There was no one there when I took the photo. But after other tourists saw me taking the photo, more and more people came. I quickly ran up to take a few more pictures and left, but the photos didn't come out very well when I sat there, so I couldn't see what it looked like. It might be because of the bad weather. If you use an iPhone, please adjust the setting to 0.7, otherwise you won't be able to take a heart shape. P.S. Don’t just take pictures of the heart cave. Go to the highest point of the castle and you can see the beautiful view of the whole town. #cappadocia #check-in hotspot #check-in #lovecave #travelguide

Wow! This is the only thing I could say when I saw this city. A couple of kilometers before entering Uchisar, you notice a huge rock, the slopes of which are covered with houses. But the most amazing thing is that inside this rock there are also residential caves. This place looks fantastic, as if you were in some movie about the Middle Ages. Many people think that Cappadocia is just balloons, but in fact, Cappadocia is much more interesting, because every small town here is a real discovery 👍 #myperfectstaycation #turkey #cappadocia l#travel #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog

I was fortunate to manage to get a “cave” room at Rox Cappadocia and they have one of the best views of the hot air balloons scenery! You can also book your hot air rides with the hotel. What’s more amazing is that the hotel owner just opened this hotel and he is extremely amicable and welcoming! Their breakfast was truly authentic and delish! If you are in Turkey, do plan to visit this place and book your stay with Rox (: #turkey #cappadocia #hotairballoon

Hey mamas! I took my 7-year-old to explore cave hotels in Cappadocia, and now this little one hugs his pillow every day saying "I want to go back to sleep on Mars!"🚀 I've put together a detailed review of 7 magical hotels based on our real experience. Let me show you how to discover Earth's most moon-like landscape through a fairy tale lens! ▫️Sunrise Pool Views That'll Blow Your Mind The pool at Kelebek Special Cave Hotel is pure magic! Dragged my kid out of bed at 5 AM, wrapped in blankets by the pool, and when hundreds of hot air balloons floated overhead, he was speechless: "Mom, they're cooking colorful dumplings in the sky!"🌅 Even better - this hotel shares a terrace with Sultan Cave Suites. For just $300+ per person, you can enjoy their famous carpet breakfast spot. Dress your little one in traditional clothes for Instagram-worthy photos that'll steal the show! ▫️Heated Pool: Winter's Best Friend Who knows the joy of swimming in -10°C weather! The Museum Hotel's heated pool helped my little penguin unlock his "swimming in snow achievement"❄️ While floating and watching balloons rise over Uçhisar Castle ruins, my kid suddenly turned into a history buff: "Mom, is this what Byzantine warriors saw?" (This mama's cramming history lessons overnight🤯) ▫️Pet Strategy: Operation Win Over Human Cubs Artemis Cave Suites and Rox Cave Hotel are perfect for kids! The hotel's star dog Max plays fetch and teaches rolling tricks. On our last day, my kid stuffed cookies into Max's fur as "strategic reserves"🍪 The cat at Sultan Cave Suites is even better, waiting for balloons with kids on the terrace - photos look like a spin-off of "Hotel Transylvania"! ▫️400-Year Time Travel Breakfast Henna Hotel gave my kid the full theatrical experience! Eating breakfast on 400-year-old Ottoman stone steps, with staff teaching him to pour apple tea from antique copper kettles🍎 Wearing the hotel's traditional costume, he suddenly announced: "The prince shall now dine" (definitely inherited my dramatic flair😅) ▫️Adorable Cave Turndown Service New surprises every evening! Cappadocia Moon Hotel makes hot air balloons from towels🧺, Kelebek Special Cave Hotel leaves mini pottery by children's pillows. At checkout, my kid collected gifts from all seven hotels, proudly declaring himself a "Cave Warrior"🏅 Museum Hotel goes further, making kids' desserts look like archaeological fossils - my chocolate-covered kid kept asking to "continue excavating"! ▫️Outdoor Cinema Turns Astronomy Class Rox Cave Hotel's stargazing terrace is amazing! While lying on Turkish carpets waiting for the Milky Way, staff used laser pointers to teach constellations🌌 Now my kid points to Alpha Centauri saying: "That's where the Trisolarians live!" (Dad immediately ordered "A Brief History of Time"🤣) Tips: ✅Golden hour for balloon photos is within 1h after sunrise ✅Museum Hotel serves dinosaur fossil cakes at afternoon tea ✅Best time for Sultan terrace photos is 7 AM when it's least crowded ✅Book Henna Hotel's antique rooms 3 months ahead Now my kid carries around volcanic rocks from the cave hotel, calling them "magical eggs that hatch hot air balloons"🥚 So here's my question - how do I explain we weren't actually staying on a Mars base?!

#EuropeanTravel Uchisar Castle, located at the highest point in Cappadocia, is a huge rock fortress overlooking the surrounding area from an altitude of 1,270m above sea level. It was used as a refuge for Eastern Romans to avoid attacks from the Ottoman Empire around the 15th century, and the stairs, tunnels, and narrow passages made at that time, as well as traces of pigeon houses dug to collect pigeon droppings, remain intact to this day.  When you climb to the top of the castle, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the town of Göreme, the surrounding valley, and Mount Erciyes in the distance. The scenery is especially impressive at sunset, with the sky turning red.  📍Uchisar Castle Tekelli, 50240 Uçhisar/Nevşehir, Turkey

On the last day of my trip to Cappadocia, I decided to get closer to the huge rock tower that I could see from afar - Uçhisar Castle. This "castle" made of natural volcanic rocks is not only the highest point in the area, but also more like a fortress left on the surface by time. The climb up is not easy. The rock stairs are winding and you need to use your hands and feet in some places. But when I stood on the top, the 360-degree panoramic view of Cappadocia was breathtaking. The fairy chimneys in the distance, the endless valley, and even the hot air balloon take-off point are clearly visible. At this moment, I seemed to be standing at the intersection of history and nature. This "castle" was actually an ancient defensive stronghold and residence, full of passages and caves, and is said to date back to BC. In the past, residents took advantage of the easy-to-carve texture of volcanic rock to create a honeycomb-like rock dwelling world, which can be regarded as a natural fortification. Although no one lives there now, it still retains the spatial structure and mysterious atmosphere of that time. If you come to Cappadocia, it is far from enough to just take a hot air balloon ride. Come and climb the Uchisar Castle and let the wind and vision remind you: this land has more than just the sky, there are also historical poems written in rocks.

Uçhisar Castle in Türkiye is a famous attraction located in the Cappadocia region. It not only has magnificent natural scenery, but also integrates a long history and culture. The castle has a very special geographical location. It is located on a huge rocky hill, and its majesty can be seen at a glance. If you come to Cappadocia for a trip, this castle is definitely a must-see. The following are my thoughts on visiting Uchisar Castle. 1. Transportation and location Uçhisar Castle is located in Uçhisar Village in Cappadocia, which is a relatively convenient location and can be reached in about 10 to 15 minutes by car from Göreme. If you don't plan to drive yourself, you can choose to take a local bus or rent a motorcycle. Cappadocia has a wide range of transportation options. In addition, if you live in Goreme or other tourist areas in Cappadocia, the traffic conditions here are also very good, and many travel agencies offer day tours and will list Uchisar Castle as one of the itineraries, which will also allow you to get there easily. 2. Castle appearance and climbing experience Uchisar Castle is a historic rock castle. Its exterior is made of local volcanic rocks. The color of the rocks is a mixture of golden, gray and red, which complements the surrounding natural scenery. The castle has a typical Cappadocia rock architectural style. The overall structure is formed by carving and excavating a huge rock hill. These carvings and caves were once places for people to live and defend in history. Standing at the bottom of the castle, you will find that the height of the castle is much higher than expected. Although the process of climbing up the castle requires some physical strength, the scenery and the feeling of adventure along the way are definitely worth it. Starting from the entrance of the castle, you can see increasingly narrow stairs and passages. These narrow passages make people feel like entering an ancient maze. As you climb, you can feel the history of the castle's architecture. These caves were once the homes and defense facilities of the residents at that time. 3. Castle interior and viewing platform When you finally climb to the top of the castle, you will have a magnificent view of the entire Cappadocia region. The height of Uchisar Castle makes it the commanding point in the area, so from the castle's observation deck, you can have a 360-degree view of the entire Cappadocia. Especially in the early morning or evening, when the first rays of light shine on the rocks and hills, or when the sun sets, the whole scenery is even more beautiful. At this time, if you are lucky, you can also see hot air balloons slowly rising and floating in the colorful sky. This scene has become an iconic picture of Cappadocia. In addition, looking from the top into the distance, you can see other famous attractions such as Goreme National Park, strange rock-lined caves, etc. These strange rocks are the most distinctive landscape in Cappadocia, which makes people marvel at the wonders of nature. 4. A paradise for photography enthusiasts For tourists who love photography, Uchisar Castle is undoubtedly a great place to take pictures. Whether it is day or night, the light here changes very much. During the day, the sun shines on the rocks, bringing out different levels of color, allowing you to capture the most natural and layered scenery. At night, the lights of the castle itself and the starry sky in the distance will create a romantic atmosphere, making people want to take pictures as a souvenir. In addition, when the hot air balloons take off, these colorful hot air balloons and the unique landforms of Cappadocia are intertwined. Whether you use a mobile phone or a camera, you can take very artistic photos. 5. Historical and cultural background Uchisar Castle is not only a representative of natural landscape, but also has a profound historical and cultural background. According to historical records, the castle was once part of the local defense system. Its architectural style is based on natural rock caves, where early residents lived. These caves once served as their homes, warehouses, and even fortifications. Over time, the castle gradually became one of the symbols of the local villagers. In Türkiye's history, the Cappadocia region was once the intersection of multiple empires, so the history of Uchisar Castle is also diverse and rich. Civilizations and cultures from different periods have left deep marks on this land, which is another major reason for tourists to come here. 6. Conclusion Overall, Uchisar Castle is a tourist attraction that combines history, natural scenery and adventure experiences. If you have the opportunity to travel to Cappadocia, don't miss this spectacular place. Whether it is the process of climbing the castle or standing on the top overlooking the beautiful scenery around, these will become unforgettable memories of your journey. Especially the scene when the hot air balloon takes off, which is a must-take moment for almost every tourist. Moreover, the historical and cultural background here also allows you to learn more about the past and development of Cappadocia. For travelers who want to deeply experience the culture and natural beauty of Türkiye, Uchisar Castle is undoubtedly a must-visit place.

#MarchTravelSupportEvent Uchisar is located at the highest point in Cappadocia. It is also called 'Pigeon Valley' because the monks who lived here in the past raised pigeons. The houses built on the rocky mountain are beautiful and you can look down on the whole view of Goremae Valley. A recommended travel destination when traveling to Turkey!
