Avlu Cave House

Firstly I would like to thank Tarik and Sukrij (Nephew and Uncle) for all the help they gave us. They went out of their way to help with "OPTIONS" for activities, that we could either accept or go elsewhere. We did not find them pushy at all and to be honest, even when we did enquire at other places, they were either the same price or more expensive. Good breakfast selection and eat as much as you like. Our room number 1 was nice (same as the photos) and quiet with the cave room experience and views of the mountains. The terrace was good if you wanted to get up early and see the balloons pass by. We did the balloon ride which was fantastic and not to be missed. We also hiked in the valleys away from the regular trips and found it a great experience, but the trips that the guys sorted where quality. We did the balloons, red tour or green tour (day long), castle, love valley, pigeon valley, red/rose trek, underground city, creator lake, quad bikes at sunset. We made a couple of Turkish lamps when we wanted a more chilled day and that was great from a guy called Emir. Small enough to take home and a good experience making them. The guys can sort that out for you as it's opposite the mosque and you can learn how to make the Turkish coffee also. The food at Seiten and Top deck restaurants was a reasonable price and really top class, so would recommend. Would certainly recommend the hotel and the place to friends. Disliked · To be honest I would be doing the place (Goreme) a disservice as we really enjoyed the stay. Maybe being approached and beckoned into the shops, but you can always say no.
