İmrahor is a village in the Ulukışla district of Niğde Province, Turkey, located near the ruins of the site of ancient Faustinopolis, which lies closer to the nearby village of Başmakçı. Fruit farming is the main source of living and the village is famous with its cherries and apples, but decreasing water resources have recently caused problems, including emigration of the younger generation from the village.
