Why stay
Welcome to Cappadocia - a mysterious wonderland of soaring rock formations - peribacalari, or 'fairy chimneys' and magical underground cities. Kelebek Hotel is located in the old part of Goreme, and is the first cave hotel in the city. Stay inside a real cave, built to provide you with the most authentic Turkish comfort. Choose between 36 different rooms and suites - cave, arch, stone or Fairy Chimney. For a hammam basin, a terrace and a fireplace - go with a suite. While on the premises, indulge in a Turkish Bath (hammam) for a tradition dating back thousands of years. Cool off in the Kelebek swimming pool and explore the mosaics showing the world map of famous Turkish sailor Piri Reis. After a day full of adventure, rest in the garden with a tea and a book.
Why wander
The most unforgettable and not to be missed experience at Cappadocia is a hot-air balloon ride over the magical fairy chimneys. Explore this ancient landscape from above in this once in a lifetime experience. Alternatively, explore the ancient valleys on horseback from below. Another great venture from Kelebek is visiting the owner's family farm for a traditional Turkish breakfast and sightseeing. Get picked up by a giant converted whiskey barrel pulled by a tractor and hike to the 'hidden' green valley, where you will indulge in a wonderful spread of home grown organic goods. Eat among the roaming free farm animals. Watch your bread and tea warmed up in a stone oven.
INDULGE IN
Traditional turkish cuisine. The sweetest fruit. Honey tray straight from the hive. Stone-over baked turkish bread.
