Fodor's Expert Review Kayakapı Premium Caves

This luxurious, rock-cut, resort-style hotel conveys a sense of the past with wooden floors and furnishings, rich Anatolian textiles, traditional low sofas, and accents like framed antique caftans. Rooms and suites vary widely in size and amenities, which include working fireplaces, hammams, saunas, and private terraces or gardens; a few even have indoor plunge pools. There's an inviting outdoor pool and underground spa and fitness center that includes an atmospheric stone-vaulted Turkish bath and sauna with windows looking out onto the valley below. The hotel is part of an ambitious, UNESCO-approved project that will restore a historic neighborhood of some 250 abandoned cave homes. Guests can explore its old church, mosque, and Turkish bath as work continues.
