Stay in Ortahisar if you want the other castle village — quieter than Uçhisar’s terrace belt, closer to a working town than Göreme’s alley. Climb the rock. Balloon pickup is on our list. Two or three nights. First sunrise. Red Tour does not replace this stop.
Visit Çavuşin for the abandoned cave village and the church in the cliff — not for another Göreme alley. A few hours is enough for most guests. Stay only if you want a quiet base on the Göreme–Avanos road. Balloon pickup is on our list. Do not climb into cracked rooms.
