Cappadocia was the capital of the Hittite Empire until 1.100 b.C. and is an important province of the Roman Empire, with a mention in the Bible and everything. It is also the home of St. George, worshipped by Brazillians but fairly unknown to local inhabitants. The name Cappadocia comes from “Katpatukya”, which means “Land of the beautiful horses”. With extensive planes, great mountains and extinct vulcanoes, the region is perfect for tourists seeking history and leisure.
The Yunak Evleri Cappadocia Cave Hotel is located in Urgrup and is a luxurious structure that includes six cave houses, that go back to the 5th and 6th centuries, and, also, a huge Greek mansion built in the 19th century. The place, aside from being perfect to stay at, is also the base for the incursions in the underground cities and churches located in its proximities.
