Where to stay in Cappadocia

How to choose where to base yourself in Cappadocia, then search live availability and prices on Booking.com.

Almost every hotel here is a cave or stone conversion, so the choice is really which town suits you. All sit within a short drive of the balloon fields, the valleys and the underground cities.

Göreme

Central and balloon views

The regional hub, ringed by fairy chimneys and right beneath the morning balloon fleet. Cave hotels run from backpacker to boutique, and the restaurants, tour desks and valley trailheads are all on your doorstep.

Uçhisar

Views and quiet luxury

Set around its castle rock at the area's highest point, Uçhisar has the most panoramic outlook and its smartest cave hotels. Calmer than Göreme, with a short walk or drive into the action.

Ürgüp

Boutique comfort and wine

A larger, well-kept town with characterful boutique hotels, good restaurants and the region's wineries on its edge. A comfortable, grown-up base with more everyday amenities.

Ortahisar

Authentic and calm

A working village beneath a dramatic castle rock that stays quiet and local while keeping you central. A fine pick if you want atmosphere without the crowds.
