Turkey City: Urguype
Colorful town URGYUP (Urgup) lives a more natural life than man-oriented Görem. Until 1923, the town was predominant to the Greeks, from which there are many beautiful buildings scattered around the city. And the tuffing cliffs rummaged right above the city quarters are literally permeated with a network of artificial caves – many of them are used as residential premises, warehouses and stalls for donkeys, which usually notes every dawn throughout Cappadocia. But there are several untouched levels that can be studied with a little big convenience than in the same potion.
