Cappadocia Gamirasu Cave Hotel

Those who’d like to experience a slice of ancient Cappadocia can stay at this hotel tucked away in the village of Ayvalı, just 10 kms from Ürgüp. The 35-room hotel was originally a monastery dating back to the 11th century, and was later transformed into one of the region's first cave hotels. A Roman-style open-air pool is the star of the show, inviting guests to unwind in a historical setting. The in-house restaurant stands out with dishes crafted from ingredients, locally sourced from a bio-farm nearby.
