Ürgüp
Ürgüp is a district of Nevşehir.
Ürgüp (Greek: Προκόπιο Prokópio, Cappadocian Greek: Προκόπι Prokópi, Ottoman Turkish: Burgut Kalesi) is a town in Nevşehir province in the Cappadocia area of Central Anatolia, Turkey. It is the seat of Ürgüp District. Its population is 24,647 (2022). The town lies at an average elevation of 1,044 m (3,425 ft). As elsewhere in Cappadocia, the centre of Ürgüp is full of old stone houses clustered around a central rock formation, in this case Temenni Tepesi (Temenni Hill, Wish Hill). Ürgüp got into the boutique-hotel movement early and as a result has a flourishing tourism industry, in part because it has more amenities than other Cappadocian destinations. It makes a good base for visiting all the main attractions of Cappadocia, including the rock-cut churches and the underground cities.
