Hiking

For 4TL entry you can climb up to half of the perforated rock. Partially not for people with a fear of heights 😅

Anyone walking through Ortahisar will inevitably pass the castle. The rock tower in the village is imposing and mighty. Can be partially committed.

Hiking

Gates where open and we climbed to the very top. Not extreme, though not for fainthearted either. Price is 5 lira. Cheaper and better than Uchisar in my opinion.
Even food and souvenirs are down to usual Turkish price.
