Where to Stay in Cappadocia
Did you know that Cappadocia is made up of several villages?
Truthfully, I was clueless when I planned my trip. I had no idea when I researched hotels in Cappadocia that it was important to pick a village to stay in.
In this breakdown of the best hotels in Cappadocia, I’ve narrowed it down to three main villages: Goreme, Uçhisar, and Ürgüp.
Additionally, Avanos and Ortahisar deserve an honorable mention. These Cappadocia villages are less touristy and off-the-beaten-path. However, only consider staying in these villages if you have a car.
While I’ve listed several options on the best location to stay in Cappadocia, overall I think Goreme is best.
My Hotel Stays

I was in Cappadocia for 1 week and stayed in Goreme.
Antique Terrace Suites and Grand Cappadocia Hotel were the two hotels I stayed at. Both were fantastic!
Let’s Talk About the Terrace

Something to consider when booking your hotel is if your hotel has a rooftop terrace. Not all of them do!
If a view is important to you, research your hotel of choice to ensure it has a rooftop.
Goreme

Goreme is considered to be the most prime location to stay in Cappadocia, especially if you don’t have a car.
While Goreme is still very quaint, there are loads of hotels, restaurants, and activities to do. Also, everywhere is within walking distance!
Goreme is the most central pickup and dropoff point for many tours.
If this is your first time in Cappadocia, you will want to stay in Goreme.

Uçhisar
Uçhisar is a lovely village that you will enjoy if you fancy more a quiet scene. The village is known for its striking rock castle that sits high, overlooking the town.
If you don’t have a car, Uçhisar is still a possible option for Cappadocia.
To get from Uçhisar to Goreme, you can take a bus that departs every half hour from Uchisar Village to the Goreme bus station.

Is Cappadocia Worth Visiting?
I’ll admit, I was skeptical about making the hike to Cappadocia. I had seen the balloon photos blasted all over Instagram. As a seasoned traveler, I try not to fall for tourist trap destinations.
However, I can confidently say Cappadocia was one of my favorite places I’ve ever traveled to.
Whatever budget you have and whichever hotel you choose to say at, you will have a spectacular time in Cappadocia, Turkey.
