We stayed in the Kelebek Cave Hotel in Goreme for 2 nights.  Our "junior suite" was a spacious comfortable room with a terrace with a great view.  There was no place to put our clothing except a "closet" carved out of the rock.  A rather ...

... ! Did I take a picture of this show? I tried... Did not get up that early again until my last day there... :-) I make it to the cave hotel but my room was not ready so they treat me to bufett breakfast while it is cleaned and ready for me.  The view ...

... yet that I will really get to stay here, in something called a fairy chimney. Todd said the rooms in the Kelebek Cave Pension hotel reminded him of a Pier One designer's dream. He used an expletive before 'dream' that would have besmirched my first ...

We stayed at Kelebek hotel and pension; our cave room was carved right out of the rock formations; it was warm and had a view of the amazing geological formations, the moon rising, the village of Goreme. The owner invited me and sophia to go riding on ...

... none of these museums and sites are in the database. I asked for directions and got a simple map from the proprietor here at the Kelebek. In the end, it seems I went the right way, just on a different road. Imagine me driving intuitively. Now there's an ...

... it's nature as a tourist base it seems to be a very laid back sort of place. Our first order of the day after checking into our hotel was to take a nap (hey 4:00 is darn early).  The hotel we are staying in is up in the hills above the town and ...

... at Nevsehir airport, they said, "Well good luck with that." That did not inspire confidence for me as I headed from my hotel this morning.   Nevsehir is a short flight from Istanbul, about an hour and fifteen minutes (when was the last time ...
