Cappadocia which means 'the Land of Beautiful Horses', is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in the Nevşehir, Kayseri, Aksaray, Kırşehir, Sivas and Niğde provinces in Turkey.
According to Herodotus, in the time of the Ionian Revolt (499 BC), the Cappadocians were reported as occupying a region from Mount Taurus to the vicinity of the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of the Taurus Mountains that separate it from Cilicia, to the east by the upper Euphrates, to the north by Pontus, and to the west by Lycaonia and eastern Galatia.
The name, traditionally used in Christian sources throughout history, continues in use as an international tourism concept to define a region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by fairy chimneys and a unique historical and cultural heritage.
Göreme, located among the "fairy chimney" rock formations, is a town in Cappadocia, a historical region of Turkey. It is in the Nevşehir Province in Central Anatolia and has a population of around 2,000 people.
Former names of the town have been Korama, Matiana, Maccan or Machan, and Avcilar. When Göreme Valley nearby was designated an important tourist destination, a "center" for all tourism in Cappadocia, the name of the town was changed to Göreme for practical reasons. Among Göreme's historically important sites are the Bezirhane, Durmus Kadir, Ortahane, and Yusuf Koç churches, in addition to the richly decorated Tokali Kilise, the Apple Church, and a number of homes and pigeon houses carved into the rock formations in the town.
It is not known when Göreme was first inhabited, but it is known that there was a settlement there during the Hittite era, between 1800 and 1200 BC. For many centuries, the location was central between rival empires, such as the Hurri-Mitanni, Hittite Empire, Middle Assyrian Empire, Neo Assyrian Empire, Persian Achaemenid Empire and the Greek Seleucid Empire, leading the natives to tunnel into the rock to escape the political turmoil. During the Roman era, the area became home to Christians retreating from Rome. Christianity prevailed as the primary religion in the region, which is evident from many rock churches that can still be seen today. The Göreme National Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
The rocky town of Goreme located in the heart of Cappadocia, one of the provinces of Noşehir province in Turkey, which is considered one of the important tourist areas of the country with "fairy" chimneys, valleys, underground cities and stone monasteries, annually hosts millions of tourists from all over the world.
This town of 2150 people hosted 2 million 949 thousand 542 domestic and foreign tourists last year. Nouri Jingal, the mayor of Goreme, told Anatoly reporter:
Gorme is one of the most attractive tourist areas in the rocky city of Cappadocia. This city also hosted about 3 million tourists last year. Most of them also visited Gorme town. About 537 thousand domestic and foreign tourists participated in Gorme hot air balloon tours and 1 million 105 thousand 693 of them also visited the open air museum of this town.
Goreme, with its ancient texture, is located in the heart of Cappadocia. Churches, baths, mosques, schools and museums are among the important buildings of this town. The ancient region of Cappadocia in the central Anatolia region of Turkey has also been registered by UNESCO and is one of the most beautiful places in the world in terms of the combination of nature and history.
Most tourists who travel to Cappadocia come here to see the caves. And now imagine staying in one of these caves for a while. It is a unique experience. Living like cavemen is something far from belief, but one of the best places to stay in this city provides you with this possibility.
Most of the hotels in Cappadocia have very regularly dug out the rooms with machines and built a cave, but the Serene Cave House Cappadocia is not like that. It still retains that state of being a cave, as if it had been dug out by hand.
The location of the cave is right in the center of this city, although a little further from the main street, where a lot of noise surrounds the environment. The location of Serene Cave House Cappadocia is right in the silence, where you can hear the occasional birdsong.
This is the right point to travel anywhere in Cappadocia, reach the hiking trails on foot and visit most of the tourist spots.
It is a cave, so don't expect a view. Although the Serene Cave House Cappadocia allows you to have a great view of the city when you step out the door, and even if you book the upper room, you will have a wonderful terrace overlooking the city. The pictures show its beauty.
The rooms of Serene Cave House Cappadocia are very relaxing, and offer a completely dreamlike atmosphere of living in a cave.
Staying in these rooms makes it easy to experience living in a cave. All the walls of this cave are carved in such a way that the places of carving can be found.
All three rooms of this cave are different and of course more beautiful then the other.
