Uçhisar Nevflehir, Turkey Tel: Fax: Vadiler / Valleys Bezirhane 36/37 38/39 Some come to this land simply to tour and some come to savor every moment... Some arrive armed with preconceptions and some bring with them a sense of wonder... Some are happy to take away a few memories and some go home enriched for life... Located in the heart of Cappadocia on the site of an ancient monastery in Old Uçhisar Village, Argos in Cappadocia has carefully restored the remains of historical dwellings, underground tunnels and caves to offer our guests not only an unsurpassed place to stay but a unique perspective from which to view this magical land. Beyond the postcards, the photo opportunities, the souvenirs and the accelerated tours awaits the real Cappadocia, and the best way to discover it is to step into another world and another time. And that's exactly what we at Argos in Cappadocia set out to do some years ago: to discover and to reveal for our guests the real enchantment of Cappadocia. To create a space that lives and breathes the spectacular sunrises and sunsets, that speaks the language of Mount Erciyes, of rock doves and pigeons, of vineyards and monasteries, and of the vibrant colors of the changing seasons... Wake up to a dream with each new dawn...

4 Kapadokya / Cappadocia Poetry born from the ashes... A stunning terrain formed over millions of years by the lava and ashes spewed from Mount Erciyes and Mount Hasanda ; carved by water and wind over millennia; and sculpted ivory-like by monks, priests and master stone cutters... A dizzying miracle of nature, adorned in bridal white in winter, decked out in red roses and gurgling fountains in spring, full of wild oleaster and nightingale song come summer... Kullerden dogan bir siir... Milyonlarca y l önce Erciyes ve Hasanda 'n n püskürttü ü lavlar ve küllerden do an; biny llar boyu erozyonun, keflifllerin, rahiplerin ve tafl ustalar n n nak fl gibi iflledi i benzersiz bir co rafya...

A unique heritage, and for centuries one of the foremost dwelling places of the people of Cappadocia, Uçhisar salutes majestic Mount Erciyes every morning and is bathed in silver moonlight every night... 04/05
