Why we love it
The setting
Mithra Cave Hotel sits in the centre of Göreme, about 600 metres from the town's shops and cafes. The building is carved into the soft volcanic rock that Cappadocia is known for, so the rooms keep the cool, quiet feel of a real cave dwelling. From the terrace you look out over the town's chimney-shaped rock formations, and on clear mornings the hot-air balloons drift up right in front of you.
What to expect
You stay three nights in a Deluxe Double room with a full double bed and a private bathroom, and breakfast is included each morning. Breakfast is served on the terrace when the weather allows, with the valley spread out below. The cave walls mean the room stays naturally cool in the day and warm at night, and the hotel keeps a garden, bar and restaurant on site.
Things to do nearby
The Göreme Open Air Museum, with its rock-cut churches and frescoes, is 2.5 km away. Göreme National Park starts about 1.4 km from the door, and Uçhisar Castle is 2.2 km off for a wider view across the region. A short walk brings you to Sunset Point, a favourite spot for watching the light change over the rock valleys at the end of the day.
Best for
This one suits couples who want somewhere calm and a bit different, close enough to walk into Göreme but quiet at night. Early risers who want to catch the balloons at dawn will get the most from the terrace views.
