  • You drive go to the castle from the near small village called "Dereköy". The ruins are on the right after about 1.5 kilometers. There is a small fountain on the right on the way there, pass it, 500 meter after the road is curled to the right and will cross a small stream with a very small bridge, here appears 1 km to the north the ruins. According to the state of your car, there is a small path to the hill that you can use a little bit to get nearer.
