Legend Cave Hotel, Goreme

Advantages: Clean and quiet
Disadvantages: Lacking in personality, poor breakfasts

...My husband and I had a week's walking holiday in Cappodoccia in mid March and we stayed 6 nights at the Ciner. We didn't choose it - it was part of a package booked through Explore Worldwide so I can't tell you what the price was but I'd say it wasn't an expensive one.

The best bits for me, having spent a lot of time there, is the castle and the cove. The journey to and from the cove and castle can... Read review
