Very suitable for e-MTBs. Starting from Camping Kaya, it's possible to pass through the bazaar and the ramp at the Open Air Museum with a bike.

The Valley of the Dovecotes. The descent into the valley is near the parking lot south of Ushisar. You should definitely descend into the valley, although there was excavation work at the entry point (as of September 2024).

The view from the castle into the surrounding area - towards Göreme and the Valley of the Dovecotes is impressive.
