Üç Güzeller

Natural wonder Ürgüp, Nevsehir, Turkey

What to expect

Üç Güzeller is a unique natural wonder in Ürgüp, Turkey, featuring three fairy chimneys that resemble a family, with two larger ones and a smaller one, symbolizing a mother, father, and child. The site is steeped in legend, with one story telling the tale of a princess who fell in love with a shepherd and, after being pursued by the king's soldiers, was transformed into stone along with her family. Visitors can view the fairy chimneys from a nearby viewing platform, and the site is particularly stunning at sunset when the chimneys are illuminated. The area is also home to various stalls selling local handicrafts and souvenirs
