Cappadocian Cave Hotels, Turkey

Last Updated on August 11, 2022

Cappadocia's Top Cave Hotels

A trip to Cappadocia, in central Turkey, gives you the chance to stay in a cave.

Cappadocia's soft volcanic rock has been hollowed out for homes for at least two millennia. Cappadocia's enterprising hoteliers—led by Mr Süha Ersöz of Ürgüp's Esbelli Evi—have restored crumbling stone-and-cave houses, equipped the rooms with comforts such as electricity, modern bathrooms, telephones, and even fast Internet connections, and opened them as traditional Cappadocian inns.

If you don't stay in a cave inn or hotel during your stay in Cappadocia, you're really missing something! But not all cave rooms are alike, and some are not going to make you happy. Read this about staying in a cave room.
