Yunak Evleri is a combination of six cave houses
with a total of 30 private cave rooms dating back to
the 5th and 6th centuries and crowned with a 19th
century Greek Mansion.
The name of the neighbourhood "YUNAK" comes from the old days when women
used to do all their washing and of course,
socialising by the fountain located at the village
square. Being by the fountain and at the Yunak was
the center of daily life.
These exceptional cave houses are renovated and
decorated with care and in their own distinct style
with strictly respecting the local character. The
decor is elegant and personalized with beautiful
hand-crafted furnishings and antiques. With 30
rooms, Yunak Evleri is small enough to be intimate,
yet large enough to offer you privacy.
A labyrinth of narrow passageways and curved stone
stairways lead to unique rooms tastefully decorated
in warm Ottoman style. All rooms have private patios
overlooking the Turkish Mesa.
In the stone mansion at the foot cliffs, music room
with a good collection of music CDs and hi-fi
system, a room with computer and and also wireless
Internet connection, a DVD room with home theatre
system room and a meeting room is located.
Evenings are characterized by sunset gatherings on
soft upholstered Turkish pillows warmed by an
outdoor fireplace. Candlelight dining is offered on
the adjacent rooftop terrace.
Yunak Evleri has created a peaceful balance between
modern comfort and tradition. With its convenient
location in the center of Ürgüp, Yunak Evleri is a
perfect base for daily excursions within Cappadocia.
