Cappadocia | Living in a cave, seeing a fairy tale world

As the best place in the world for hot air balloon flights, the romance of Cappadocia is obvious to all. As the hot air balloon took off, the unique lunar-like landforms on Earth took shape at this moment. Especially at dusk, when the lights come on, Cappadocia looks like a fairy tale world. In order to better embrace this fairy-tale-like scenery, I chose to stay in the natural cave room of the Sacred Mansion Hotel in Goremekaya to experience the romantic atmosphere up close! - 【Location】 📍The central location of Goreme, 🧭Uzundere Cad. No 43, only 1500 feet from the center of Goreme, with many attractions around. - 🏨【Style】 We drove to Türkiye and parked directly in the hotel parking lot. The retro door lock opened, as if we were walking into a huge castle and starting a treasure hunt game here. The ubiquitous art paintings decorate every corner; a variety of everlasting flowers create a romantic atmosphere; the unique furniture and supplies demonstrate taste and aesthetics. - 🛏️【Check-in】 From check-in to check-out, the staff provided service with a smile, and the service experience was like home. The hotel has only 37 rooms, including natural cave rooms, stone rooms, vaulted rooms and suites. I chose to stay in a suite, which has a large space and basically restores the cave itself. The retro European style design is full of mystery. You can also enjoy the unique landforms around it by opening the window. - 🥘【Food】 1️⃣Lilith restaurant: Serves Turkish and world cuisine. Located on the hotel's rooftop terrace, you can enjoy both indoor and outdoor dining. The outdoor terrace offers a view of the beautiful scenery of Goreme. 2️⃣Virtus restaurant: A Michelin-listed restaurant with exquisite plating and retro decoration, fresh and carefully prepared international cuisine, and affordable prices, which successfully awakened my taste buds. - 📷【Surrounding attractions】 📌Goreme Open Air Museum: About 5 kilometers, it is one of the most famous attractions in Cappadocia, with numerous cave churches and murals. 📌Goreme National Park: About 2 kilometers, the park has unique volcanic rock landforms and fairy chimney landscapes. 📌Uchisar Castle: About 3 kilometers, it is one of the landmark buildings in Cappadocia and overlooks the beautiful scenery of the entire Goreme area. 📌Hot air balloon: The front desk can help you book a hot air balloon. The specific price and whether it can take off normally are subject to the information on the day. 🌄【Hidden tips】 1⃣️The hotel is about 2 kilometers away from the panoramic viewing platform of Goreme. It takes about half an hour to walk to the highest point of the town. At sunset, the blues come and the lights come on, just like a fairy tale world. 2⃣️The hotel terrace has a wide view. Every time a hot air balloon takes off, it will pass by here. You don’t have to drive to chase the hot air balloons. You can feel the romance here by just looking up.
