Temmeni Hill
Known as The Hill of Wishes, this elevated rock face rises above Ürgüp to reveal expansive views of the surrounding area. A mysterious tunnel (closed; don't bother with those pestering kids) almost .8km (1/2-mile) long leads from around the 13th-century Kebir Camii to the Selçuk tomb of Nükrettin at the top of the hill; to this day, no one knows who built it or why. The tomb was dedicated to the Selçuk leader Kiliçarslan IV, or the Sworded Lion, and a hilltop cafe allows you to relax and take it all in.
