Where the hotel is
Elika Cave Suites is a cave hotel in Ortahisar, the village between Göreme and Ürgüp, with suites carved into the soft volcanic rock. Ortahisar Castle, the rock citadel at the heart of the village, is a short walk away, and the lanes around it hold neighbouring hotels such as Shiraz Cave Cappadocia, Carna Cave Hotel and Castle Inn Luxury Hotel. Göreme Open-Air Museum, Red Valley and Rose Valley and Pigeon Valley are each a short drive away.
Since several cave hotels sit side by side below the castle, enter Elika Cave Suites exactly as written when you book your private transfer from Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport. Your driver meets you with a name sign and takes you to the door, or to the closest point a vehicle can reach.
