The finest example of a historic cave home is the Uchisar Castle. This beautiful and historic castle is located in the town of Uçhisar, in the Goreme Province of Cappadocia, Turkey. The castle is built on a hilltop overlooking the town and the surrounding desert landscape and is the highest point in Cappadocia. Unfortunately not enough time to climb top of it. So will go to near panoramic place to see it.

Pasabag Monks Valley is known for its unusual rock formations, which are sometimes referred to as “fairy chimneys”. The formations are the result of volcanic eruptions and erosion over time. The name “Monks Valley” comes from the fact that monks used to live in the rock-cut rooms in the valley during the Byzantine era.
