Argos

From its hillside setting on the outskirts of Uçhisar, this property commands exceptional views over the rock formations of the picturesque Pigeon Valley to Mt Erciyes in the distance. It blends seamlessly into its surroundings, with meticulously restored historic village houses and rock-cut dwellings offering a one-of-a-kind experience amidst the surreal volcanic landscape. The 51 atmospheric rooms are spread throughout the grounds, each beautifully and uniquely decorated to reflect the region’s heritage, with Turkish rugs and handicrafts, and natural materials.

The two restaurants use locally grown produce, including fruits from the 1,800 trees of the hotel, to create exquisite dishes, while the wine cellar’s 70,000 bottles showcase their vineyard wines alongside those from around the world. Explore the ancient monastery and tunnels within the grounds which offer a glimpse into Cappadocia’s fascinating past, take a tour of the vineyards and gardens, or head further afield on a bike, horseback or foot to explore this iconic and dramatic landscape. The infinity pool and therapy room are perfect for a spot of relaxation after hiking through the rocky hills of Cappadocia.
