Since 1990, visitors to this remote area have been able
to sample a luxurious version of the cave life, thanks
to the internationally acclaimed Esbelli Evi Hotel.
Located above the town of Urgup, Esbelli Evi is the
vision of Suha Ersoz, a confirmed bachelor and former
lawyer. In the last seventeen years he bought nine
abondened cave houses. Together with the abandoned 5th-
and 6th-century caves behind them, he transformed the
property into a one-of-a kind hotel
Rooms:
Each room has hardwood floors, a modern bathroom with
marble showers and a king-sized brass beds. Closets were
carved out of the walls, Barney Rubble-style, by local
stonemasons. The furniture is Ottoman, the kilim carpets
come from Ersoz's grandmother's house, and his mother
made the traditional lace curtains
