My brother and I spent a full week in Cappadocia this winter. If you’re looking for an epic, otherworldly landscape without the summer crowds, this is it. However, 7 days in the cold is a long time, so you have to be prepared.
The Pros (The Highlights):
• Stunning Scenery: Seeing the ”fairy chimneys” and valleys covered in snow is genuinely a core memory. It looks like a movie set.
• Zero Crowds: We had the Underground Cities (Derinkuyu) and the Göreme Open Air Museum almost to ourselves. No lines, no photobombing.
• Cozy Cave Vibes: Staying in a cave hotel is a must. Coming back to a heated stone room and hot Turkish tea after a day of exploring was the best part of the day.
• Budget Friendly: Since it’s the off-season, we got a great deal on a high-end hotel that would have been double the price in June.
A really lovely friendly hotel to stay. I had to ask to change rooms because of no internet in the cave room which I needed for work.This was no fuss, no trouble.And the owner even walked me to the bus stop carrying my bag rather than call a taxi on the day I left. My room was really comfortable and spacious and still in keeping with a cave hotel.A great hot shower. Breakfasts on the terrace were were delicious.....plenty of choice.This hotel is in the centre of Goreme town so location is superb for walking everwhere and also for tour pick ups.I would stay here again.Thanks Andrea.
