Discover the Magic of Cappadocia's Cave Hotels

By Fred Edward on April 11, 2024

Nestled in the heart of Turkey lies a land straight out of a fairytale – Cappadocia. Its landscape, with its rock formations and ancient cave dwellings, draws travelers seeking a unique and unforgettable experience. And what better way is there to immerse yourself than by staying in a cave hotel?

Cave dwellings in Cappadocia originated centuries ago. The region's soft volcanic rock provided an ideal canvas for ancient civilizations to carve out homes, churches, and even entire underground cities. Today, many of these historical cave structures have been restored and transformed into boutique hotels.

Part of the magical experience of staying in a cave hotel is witnessing the sunrise from the rooftop terrace, and watching the hot air balloons drift above the valley. We recommend booking a hotel in Göreme with great views of the city and landscape, like the Terra Cave Hotel, the Hera Cave Suites, and the Chelebi Cave House.

Check out our handpicked selection of highly rated hotels in Göreme, Cappadocia, each offering a unique blend of charm and hospitality.
