Elkep Evi Cave Hotel in Cappadocia
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 18:48The Elkep Evi Cave Hotel in the town of Urgup, Cappadocia (Turkey) offers unique cave rooms with modern facilities fit for a King and Queen.
The Elkep Evi Cave Hotel, located south-east of Ankara and a short flight from Istanbul, offers the intimacy of a small hotel, the mystery or a place lost in time and the amenities of our time in one package. The word Cappadocia itself means “Land of the Beautiful Horses” and beautiful this resort is.
Things to do – Centuries-old Christian monasteries, cave churches and chapels riddle the landscape complete with Byzantine iconography that can still be found on many of the cave walls in the area. A long hike is in order to take in the history and beauty of Cappadocia. Hot air ballooning, Horseback riding and Snow Skiing at the nearby Mt. Argeus ski resort just outside Kayseri are also popular activities. For reservations – might I suggest a double cave room with turkish bath suite ? [source: elkepevi.com]
