Safety warning
Its story
Üç Güzeller (the Three Beauties) consists of three fairy chimneys of different heights, interpreted as a family. These rock columns have remained standing because a hard basalt or andesite cap on top of the soft volcanic tuff protects the tuff beneath from erosion. The viewing area by the road near Ürgüp, reached by a short walk, gets crowded especially at sunrise and sunset. It is an easy, quick stop for observing the formation of fairy chimneys up close.
