Ortahisar Kalesi
Ortahisar’s 282-foot “castle” is Cappadocia’s tallest fairy chimney, though it appears lower than Uçhisar’s because it is located in a slight depression rather than atop a hill. As in Uçhisar, the castle has been carved out into a honeycomb of rooms and tunnels. Formerly used both as a fortress and for dwellings, it has splendid views of the surrounding area. Getting to the top requires climbing up some extremely steep metal staircases and ladders.
