Experiencing Uçhisar's stone castle was a magical highlight, even without the hot air balloons in Cappadocia! I've been traveling for a month, and it seems like rain has followed me everywhere. So, when we finally got half a day of good weather yesterday, I rushed to explore!
The main castle structure is quite small, and we decided not to go inside since it required a ticket. But honestly, the surrounding areas are fantastic for exploring and offer incredible photo opportunities! (The best photo spot is near the Pigeon Valley viewpoint).
Around 7 PM, at sunset, the entire stone town transforms into a breathtaking golden hue. It's truly mesmerizing! Unfortunately, the hot air balloons were canceled for two days, so I couldn't see them this time. I've decided to extend my stay here, hoping to catch them soon!
