The world-renowned economic magazine Forbes, in collaboration with Unforgettable Travel Company, has included a village from Turkey in its list of "The 50 Most Beautiful Villages in the World".
ORTAHİSAR ENTERED THE "50 MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES IN THE WORLD" LIST
The only place representing Turkey is the enchanting town of Ortahisar in Cappadocia. Ortahisar, located in the Ürgüp district of Nevşehir, entered the list at the 40th position, drawing global attention.
PRAISE FOR ORTAHİSAR
Forbes described Ortahisar with the following words: "Under a basalt sky covered with apricot and ash-colored stripes, Ortahisar rises like a monument from the Cappadocia soil. Its ancient castle is carved with caves, dovecotes, and labyrinthine tunnels. The stone streets wind past rose-scented tea gardens shaded by apricot stalls and fig trees. Here, locals share their stories in tulip-shaped cups. Meanwhile, at sunrise, balloons silently glide over the surreal pointed rocks of Hallaçdere Valley, casting shadows on the sun-bleached tuffs. Visit Ortahisar's Ethnography Museum, where the lost rhythms of embroidered vests and copperware are told."
"A GREAT HONOR FOR ALL OF TURKEY"
Cem Aslanbay, the Head of the Cappadocia Area, stated the following regarding this proud development: "Ortahisar's inclusion in Forbes' 'The 50 Most Beautiful Villages in the World' list is a great honor not only for Cappadocia but also for Turkey. The inclusion of Ortahisar, which hosts both natural and historical riches, has strengthened Cappadocia's recognition as a world heritage site. Gaining such recognition on the international stage also represents our commitment to sustainable tourism efforts and the preservation of cultural heritage. We will continue to pass on these values to the future by raising awareness among our local community and visitors without disrupting our balance of protection and promotion."
A GEM IN THE HEART OF CAPPADOCIA
Ortahisar, located in the heart of Cappadocia, entering an international list will not only increase the region's tourism potential but will also significantly contribute to Turkey's cultural promotion. With its historical texture and natural beauties, Ortahisar is now considered one of the most beautiful villages in the world.
