Hızırşah is despite its not so easy access worth a visit. In the shadow all day it is facing the north wind, ideal for hot days. Go and find the panik room :).

Approach
How long the approach to the cliff of Hızırşah is, depends largely on the type of vehicle you have. Assuming you have a car with reasonable ground clearance it can be quite short, otherwise the hike is longer but not too bad.
Make your way to the village of Hızırşah by taking a left from the road to Knidos at the cemetery of Hızırşah. Once you reach the village, take the first road right (it is also marked with red/white marks for the Karian trail) and follow it, first through the village and then, as a dirt road, through various olive and other cultures. At one point (you should see a big house a few hundred meters away), take a left and start climbing. The road becomes worse and worse as you climb up, park wherever you can but at the latest here at a small junction (:parking:, 36.729980, 27.641829). There is a nice flat space on the left.
From there hike the last few meters of road up on the right and follow the trail to the obvious goat cave. From there take a right and follow the cliff through the bushes on faint trails. Once you reach the corner, follow the steep gully up left to reach the cliff.
