Panorama

Cappadocia is a Unesco world heritage site located in central part of Turkey. The region is known for it's fantastic rock formations, rock carved churches, troglodyte settlements and underground cities. Cappadocia Lodge is a charming guest house located in Uchisar, on the heights of this region. Having one of the highest positions up above the region, the guest house offers unique views over the valleys and Argeus mountain in the horizon.

 

In 2003 archaeologist Tolun Çerkeş, purchased a complex of historical houses in Uchisar, composed of 19 rooms in the aim of transforming them into a boutique hotel. After the approval of a restoration project by the ministry of culture, careful restoration works were carried out in the complex. The aim was to create a cave hotel complying with the natural and historical texture of the region. Having this objective in mind specialized architects, masters and workers were employed for the restorations. During restorations, an ancient tunnel was found behind the wall of one of the cave rooms. This tunnel is several kilometers long and is connecting the house to a network of subterranean galleries and rooms in the underground. The rock castle called Tiraz, in the giant rock formation next to the lodge, was possibly carved out by the Hittites, soon after the bronze age when iron tools were widely used. Subsequent civilizations and early Christians must have inhabited this particular area primarily for defense purposes.

 

Located at an altitude of approximately 1250 meters, the spot usually receives  a nice mountain breeze. The cave rooms are designed to reflect a proper Cappadocia ambiance. Being in the bosom of the nature, by the orchards of peasants, Cappadocia Lodge offers an extraordinary panorama of the rock formations. The employers of Cappadocia Lodge are eager to get acquainted with different folks and be friends with them. Come and stay with us, rest in a traditional and friendly Cappadocian ambiance. We will do our best to make you feel comfortable and will be honored to host you during your journey in this wonderful land.
