Of the communities around the Cappadocian sites, Urgup Cappadocia is the busiest, situated 20 km east of Nevsehir. It’s also possibly the tastiest, but a somber legacy of badly constructed and maintained buildings has been left behind by recent growth that has grown like mushrooms.
Nonetheless, the route leading into the town passes by a few charming homes with carved rock, as well as lodging and dining establishments. To get a sense of the area before all of us arrived, it’s worthwhile to stroll through the old town.
