Where the hotel is
Alfa Cave is, as the name suggests, a cave hotel with rooms carved into the rock, set in a part of Ürgüp where cave hotels stand side by side. Belinay Cave Hotel and Sedirli Konak 1751 are right next door, with Royal Cave Hotel and Evanthia Cave Suites only a few steps away. Ortahisar Castle is a short drive from the hotel, and the Red and Rose Valleys and the open-air museums of Göreme and Zelve are easy to reach from Ürgüp.
At Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name. Enter your name at booking exactly as it appears in your passport so you can spot the sign straight away and head directly to Alfa Cave.
