Three fairy chimneys of different heights stand side by side five minutes from Ürgüp, and the legends told about them are the reason they are called the Three Beauties.
Behind the chimneys is a viewing hill with a wooden walkway on it, from which the fairy chimneys and Mount Erciyes can be seen; it is a place people come for photographs and to watch the sun set. It is on the Nevşehir-Ürgüp road in the Temenni area.
