Turkish Property Destinations Uçhisar, Cappadocia One of Twelve Top Locations

I. Kaya Köyü

There is something certainly unique in regards to the bucolic valley that unfurls at the foot for the remarkable ghost settlement
of Kaya Köyü. Called Levissi when it had been an exciting Greek community (until 1923), it really is now a collection of cobbled
paths, roofless rock houses and appealing churches that stare straight down on the fertile valley from a hillside that is terraced
above. The famous lagoon at Ölüdeniz a spectacular one behind the ridges circling the valley is the Mediterranean
and a half hour’s walk away, pretty Gemiler coastline a 15-minute drive. Exclusive Escapes has premium that is several
for sale in this rural idyll, all mixing in tastefully with all the time-worn environment of the valley.
J. Uçhisar, Cappadocia
On the cliff-tops a mile roughly over the tourist honey-pot of Göreme, Uçhisar has withstood the vicissitudes
of development far more effectively than its neighbour in the valley below. The village that is low-key dominated by a
near 200ft-high natural rock outcrop riddled with rock-cut dwellings. It makes a great base for exploring the
magical volcanic landscape of Cappadocia – however the key to making Uçhisar such a great destination to stay would be the mesmeric
sunset views throughout the bizarre Cappadocian landscape to distant Mt Erciyes. The existence of the well-regarded
Kocabag winery in the edge of the village is another boon.
