Places to visit in and around Urgup
Your driver takes you to these places and waits at every stop, so you can combine them as you like.
Three Beauties (Three Graces)
A cluster of fairy chimneys with dark stone caps just outside Ürgüp, one of Cappadocia's most photographed landmarks and the subject of a local love legend. The terraces around them look out over the valley towards the town.
Ürgüp Wineries
Cappadocia's volcanic soils have supported vineyards since antiquity, and Ürgüp is the centre of the region's winemaking. Tastings are held in cool, rock-cut cellars, where the local speciality is crisp white wine from the indigenous Emir grape.
Devrent Valley (Imagination Valley)
A valley of pinkish tuff where wind and rain have shaped the rocks into forms that look like animals and faces, most famously a camel. It lies close to Zelve, right by the road, so it makes an easy short stop.
Mustafapaşa (Sinasos) Greek Houses
Known as Sinasos and home to Greek families until the population exchange of the 1920s, the village is famous for its mansions with ornately carved stone façades and courtyards. Strolling its cobbled lanes shows a quieter, more elegant side of Cappadocia.
Ortahisar Castle
A towering rock castle in the middle of the village, hollowed out with rooms, whose restored steps lead to a panoramic summit. Ortahisar is also known for its rock-cut cold stores, where lemons and oranges from the Mediterranean coast and local potatoes are still kept in naturally cool air.

Can we visit Ürgüp's wineries with a car and driver?
Yes. Ürgüp is one of the centres of Cappadocia's long winemaking tradition, and the town has wineries and shops selling local wine. Whether tastings are offered, and when, depends on each producer, so it is worth checking before you go. Since the driver does the driving, nobody in your group needs to take the wheel, and the bottles you buy travel safely in the boot.
How do we see Temenni Hill and the Three Beauties in Ürgüp?
Temenni Hill rises right in the middle of town; the driver drops you as close as possible, and from the top you look down over Ürgüp's rock-cut houses and old quarters. A short drive then takes you to the Three Beauties just outside town, a famous photo stop where capped fairy chimneys stand side by side. Both stops are short, so they combine easily with a stroll among Ürgüp's old stone mansions.
Can we stop at Devrent Valley on the way from Ürgüp towards Avanos?
Yes. Devrent, also known as Imagination Valley, lies right beside the Ürgüp–Avanos road and is famous for rocks shaped like animals, the camel above all. It is a short, easy photo stop with hardly any walking, and children love spotting the shapes. Zelve and Paşabağ are in the same direction, so a route out of Ürgüp can take in all three one after another.
Can we go out for dinner in Ürgüp and be driven back to our hotel?
Yes. Ürgüp has many restaurants in its old stone buildings and stays lively in the evening. The driver takes you to the restaurant, waits while you eat and then drives you back to your hotel, even if it is in another village. That way nobody has to drive unfamiliar roads after dark or hunt for a taxi at the end of the evening.
Can we do the classic north Cappadocia day with our own car instead of a group tour?
Yes. The Göreme Open-Air Museum, Paşabağ, Zelve, Çavuşin and Avanos sit close together, so they fit naturally into one hourly booking. You decide the order and how long to stay at each stop, and the driver waits wherever you are. There are no fixed shopping stops and no waiting for other passengers, and you can pull over at any viewpoint that catches your eye.
