Located in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey, Urgup is considered by many to be the ideal starting-point for a trip into the celebrated area of Cappadocia. This historical region is rightly regarded as one of Turkey’s premier attractions, and provides for many visitors their enduring impression of the country. The area boasts a number of geological marvels including the renowned Goreme Open Air Museum, a 4th-Century series of religious buildings carved into the soft volcanic rock. Other popular attractions include an interesting museum housing an impressive collection of ancient artefacts, as well as a fine selection of boutique hotels and inns – many of which offer accommodation in the traditional troglodyte-style homes of the Cappadocian hills.
