Ürgüp is part of Nevşehir Province district. In 2000, the population of the district was 38,004 from which 14,538 live in the town of Ürgüp. The district has an area of 563 km2 (217 sq miles) and the town lies at an average elevation of 1,043 m (3,422 feet). Ürgüp is just 20km away from Nevsehir province, 280km from Ankara and 690km from Istanbul.
The today hotels, were once houses, and have been restaured without damaging their historic structure. But not all of the caves have been transformed in hotels, some are now nightclubs and bars, for entertaining the tourists.
In the center of the city there are shops, a historic Turkish bath, and the Temenni Hill, a high rock ledge looming above the very center of town, with a saint's tomb at its edge. An interesting thing to do while in Ürgüp is a hot-air balloon flight. The company who organizes these flights will pick you up from your hotel, and take you to the launch site.
Food & beverage
Sömine Restaurant
The name means "fireplace," but there's also air conditioning for summer, open-air terrace dining for pleasant evenings, excellent food and service, and moderate prices.
Ziggy's Shoppe & Cafe
The perfect place for a light meal, snack, drink and long conversation. On one of four open-air terraces in fair weather, by a cozy fire on chilly evenings.
Dimrit Café & Restaurant
Just down the hill from the Esbelli neighborhood, Dimrit has a full menu of food and drinks, indoor and open-air seating areas, friendly service, and spectacular views of Ürgüp and the countryside.
