Yunak Evleri

Boutique
Cappadocia, Turkey

Yunak Evleri is situated in the village of Urgup just a short downhill walk from the village centre. Carved into the cliffside, Yunak Evleri is made up of 6 cave houses encompassing 39 cave rooms, linked by a labyrinth of passageways and curved stone stairways.

Many of the rooms date back to the 5th and 6th centuries and the style of decor is simple and elegant without detracting from the charm and character of the natural cave environment. The rooms have their own distinct style with a mixture of hand-made embroidery, antique Ottoman furniture and traditional rugs and carpets. Each of the rooms also has its own private patio or balcony. Spend an evening watching the sunset over the surrounding landscape while reclining on scatter cushions by the outdoor fireplace or take a candle-lit dinner on the rooftop terrace.

Why we like Yunak Evleri

This lovely cave hotel is small enough to be intimate, yet large enough to offer you some privacy. With real kerb appeal the cliff-face rising above you, full of cave doorways has a magical feel of Middle Earth!
