"Naturally occurring formations on each side of the road but legends have been written about them. According to legend, there are 3 structures symbolizing the prince, princess and their children. The view from the top is magnificent but quite crowded. It is possible to watch the view with binoculars by using a coin. A must-see spot."
Alper Öner
"Beeing on the side on the road you can stop easily for 10 min to take couple of pictures of these nice formations. Nothing special, and very crowded because it's a stop for all agencies. You have to go in the morning"
