Gorgeous Cave Hotels

While a hot air balloon ride is a must-do in Cappadocia, it isn’t the only thing not to be missed. Exquisite hotels built into ancient cave dwellings have kept much of the physical structure of the caves while adding modern luxury.The stone cave walls give you a glimpse into how life may have felt for the people who lived in them many years ago. The beautiful antique furniture, gorgeous handmade rugs, and heavenly bedding will make it difficult to leave. Most cave hotels also offer beautiful gardens or rooftop terraces that are the perfect spot for sunrise balloon viewing.
