Viewpoints in Göreme

Göreme sits at the heart of Cappadocia in Turkey, where volcanic tuff formations, deep valleys and rock-cut settlements shape a striking landscape. Aktepe Hill and Sunset Point are natural vantage spots overlooking the region's sculpted terrain. The rock towers of Uchisar Castle and Ortahisar Castle rise above the plateau and reward the climb with broad panoramas. Zelve village, the ruins of Açıksaray and the Göreme Open Air Museum sit framed by canyon walls best appreciated from above. Across the area, the Avanos Windmill, Avanos Castle and the Andrew Rogers Open Air Sculpture Park each offer their own angle on the Cappadocian scenery.
