Cave hotels are a type of hotel found in almost every part of the Cappadocia region and developed due to the geography of the region. This type of hotel offers much different designs to its visitors than the usual concept. Cave hotels, which allow visitors to integrate with the unique nature of the region, are gathered around Ürgüp, Avanos and Göreme.
The reason why there are cave hotels here is the geographical structure and historical background of the region. When Erciyes, Hasan and Güllü Mountains were active volcanoes, millions of years ago, the first foundations for the formation of Cappadocia were laid with the lava they spewed out.
Rains and wind erosion also help the geographical structure of the region to take its current appearance. The fairy chimneys are the most important factor in the emergence of the concept of cave hotels. Moreover, the emergence of this concept is not new. Cave hotel management goes back a long time in the region.
