Getting there

Walking

From the center of Ortahisar, head towards the Ortahisar Castle. Once near the castle, continue straight on the main road (Nevşehir Ürgüp Yolu). After about 10-15 minutes of walking, you will see a sign for 'Three Beauties' on your left. The iconic fairy chimneys are a short walk from this sign.

Public Transport

You can take a local minibus (dolmuş) heading towards Ürgüp from Ortahisar. Board the dolmuş at the Ortahisar bus stop. The fare is usually around 5-10 Turkish Lira. Ask the driver to drop you off at the 'Three Beauties' stop. From there, it's just a short walk to the viewpoint.

Bicycle Rental

If you prefer a more active approach, consider renting a bicycle from one of the local rental shops in Ortahisar. Follow the main road towards Ürgüp (Nevşehir Ürgüp Yolu). It's about a 3 km ride, which should take around 10-15 minutes. Look for the signs directing you to 'Three Beauties' as you approach the area.
