The peculiarity of the old part of Urgup, as well as of other ancient cities of Cappadocia, is that it is located on the slope of the mountain. Most of the dwellings are caves, fossils in the thick of volcanic tuff and appearing on the surface only by the facade. Inside there are residential and business premises, the size and number of which is determined by the owner's prosperity.

What to see
Until the seventies of the 20th century. Here, in the house where Saint John the Russian was in bondage, people continued to live. The appearance of dwellings over the centuries has not changed much. Preserved, for example, the stable, where next to the owner's horses lived St. John, nursery, where he pawned food, and in the floor - holes with lintels, which were tied to animals. Simplicity and simplicity of the home makes it possible to imagine the atmosphere of that time very vividly.
About two years ago, one of the Turkish tourist companies came up with a project to create in Urgyup on the basis of 270 empty old houses of a recreational park. Under the plan, it is planned to re-equip a part of the cave dwellings for the museum complex, small hotels and restaurants. The main attraction of the park will be the temple and the house where St. John prayed and lived.
