Wake up to a dream...
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...
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... K›fl›n beyaz gelinli¤ini giyen,
baharda p›narlar›n fl›r›lt›s›yla coflan, k›rm›z› güllerle ala
bulanan, yaz›n bülbül namelerinin yabani i¤de kokular›na
kar›flt›¤› bafl döndüren bir do¤a harikas›...

Towering above it all...
Companion to the clouds, Uçhisar boasts panoramic views of the Cappadocia plateau and looks out over the natural
fortresses of Baflhisar and Ortahisar... Spread out along Pigeon Valley (Güvercinlik Vadisi), its foothills are a
fairyland of charming houses and sprawling mansions connected by underground tunnels, of churches, monasteries
and freshwater springs... 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...

Mimari / Architecture
Respecting a legacy...
Ever mindful of the aesthetic charms of this traditional village, with its unique location, hillside
layered with homes and sprawling estates of interconnected dwellings and living spaces, painstaking
renovation and restoration was conducted primarily as a way to preserve and enhance this legacy
for future generations and only after lengthy consultation with master architect Turgut Cansever...

Mimari / Architecture
1997 y›l›ndan bu yana sürdürülen sab›rl› ve titiz çal›flmalar sonucu ortaya ç›kan ve belli
oranda dönüflen, ama içlerindeki ruhu aynen koruyan görkemli konaklar, zarif süslemeler,

bakt›¤›, güvercinlerin içinde y›kand›¤› peyzaj alanlar›, binalar, güvercinlikler...
The soul of a place; a place for the soul...
Patient and painstaking renovations launched in 1997 remain faithful to the spirit of
the existing decorative touches and tranquil living spaces, with certain interpretative
landscaping, building and rookery modifications designed to create an even more
welcoming habitat for nesting nightingales, inquisitive hoopoes and bathing pigeons...

Living spaces designed to heighten the simple pleasures
of life: Inviting nooks and crannies,
age-old stone enlivened by simple touches,
the discerning placement of a few
unpretentious objects...
10/11
Yaflama Alanlar› / Living Spaces
The mists of time...
Interior spaces balancing the ancient and
themoderninacontemporaryinterpretation
that remains faithful to an architectural
aesthetic developed over the ages... Ancient
caves have been subtly illuminated,
transformed into bedrooms and sitting
rooms, or into restful spots to curl up in
front of the fireplace - just as their original
inhabitants did in centuries past...
Yeni ile eskinin d›flar›ya yans›yan dengeli birlikteli¤ini
içeride de koruyan, biny›llar öncesine ait estetik mimari
çözümlerin bugünün diliyle harmanland›¤› iç mekânlar...

The art of sleep...
Steeped in history and hand-carved out of stone,
these chambers are not for mere slumber. Reflect
upon another eventful day as the cave walls whisper
tales, lulling you into deepest sleep...

Luxuriate in perfection...
The walls of caves that centuries ago sheltered
hermits and holy men now shimmer with a soulpurifying blue light ... The living spaces of these
enchanting suites have been outfitted with specially
designed pools, eliminating the conventional
boundaries between inner and exterior design and

Banyolar / Bathrooms
The stuff of dreams...
At the end of the day,
a revitalizing shower and soft warm towel
await you in the seclusion of one of the
numerous caves Cappadocians have been
hollowing out of the local soft volcanic rock
since antiquity...
Dreams really do come true...
Hayali cihan deger...

Teras ve Bahçeler / Terraces and Gardens
Ac gonlunu seyreyle...
Uçhisar Kalesi'nin eteklerinden bafllay›p güneye k›vr›lan
Güvercinlik Vadisi'ne, oradan da yöreye özgü uçsuz bucaks›z
platolara ve heybetli Erciyes Da¤›'na uzanan; flafa¤›n bülbüllerle,
günbat›m›n›n ay ›fl›¤›yla bulufltu¤u eflsiz bir manzara... Yaflam
alanlar›n› birbirine ba¤layan cennet bahçeleri, teraslar... Her
odada, her konakta bir baflka aç›, bir baflka büyü...
A fresh perspective...
Living spaces are interconnected with luxuriant gardens and sun-soaked terraces that afford
panoramic views extending from the foothills of Uçhisar Fortress to Güvercinlik Valley, all
the way beyond the endless steppe to majestic Mount Erciyes... Each room and each mansion
offers a different window onto a hauntingly beautiful backdrop, admired to morning birdsong
or under a silver moon...
20/21
Tüneller / Tunnels
Binlerce y›ll›k manast›r yerleflkesinin
alt›nda keflfetti¤imiz 5,5 km.lik tarihi bir
tünel ve konaklar› birbirine ba¤layan yer

Notes from the underground...
s›ra d›fl› buluflma noktalar›na ev sahipli¤i
yap›yor Argos in Cappadocia'da...
Discovered under the grounds of an ancient monastery, an historical five-and-a-half kilometer tunnel and an
underground city connecting various mansions... At one time a subterranean warren of passages and living
spaces hollowed out as sanctuaries and hidden shelters, it now houses the private wine cellars and extraordinary
meeting rooms of Argos in Cappadocia...
22/23
Balonlar / Ballooning
Bir masala yukselmek...
Her köflesinde ayr› bir sürpriz sakl› uçsuz bucaks›z Kapadokya
vadilerini ad›m ad›m gezmek baflka bir haz verir, gökyüzünden

baflka...
Spirits soar up and away...
The Cappadocian valleys are full of twists
and turns, with breathtaking surprises
around every corner, whether explored
on foot or viewed from the air... The
vibrantly colored balloons sailing up into
rose-tinted dawn are a spectacle unto
themselves...

tended in our vineyards, some of which are integrated into the
garden landscaping of Argos in Cappadocia, are presented to
our guests as fine local wines that delight the five senses and
more. Vineyards and wineries are once again flourishing in
their original homeland, and our glasses are raised in joyous
celebration...

You haven't fully enjoyed Uçhisar
until you've explored its nooks and
crannies, imagined the stories hidden
in the details of each gate and door,
and wandered its maze of alleys until
your legs will take you no further...
Send our greetings to the aunt busily
drying apricots and to our brother,
the shepherd...

Argos in Cappadocia. Austere refinement, from objet d'art and textures,
to colors and lighting...

Güvercinler / Rock Doves
Love takes wing...
Üzüm ba¤lar›n›n verim tanr›s›; seviflmenin, koklaflman›n perileri, bölge co¤rafya ve mimarisini

Precious winged
creatures so treasured

stuff of folklore and
legend, rock doves and
pigeons bring fertility to

They call out to us from

rookeries... Now and
forever the native sons
of Cappadocia...
32/33
Tinsellik / Spirituality
Holy of holies...
Situated in the heart of Cappadocia is the largest monastery complex in the world... Churches and chapels, large and small,
waiting round each corner to be discovered... Local guides are on hand to recount legends and provide historical background
- or just poke your head into a hollowed formation and let the frescoes whisper their timeless tales...
Kutsal hazinelerin izinde...
Dünyan›n en büyük manast›r yerleflkesi Kapadokya'n›n kalbinde, her
biri gizli sakl› köflelerde keflfedilmeyi bekleyen, irili ufakl› say›s›z kilise
ve flapel... Kimi rehberler eflli¤inde, efsanelere kar›flan birer tarih dersi

vadiler ve ezelden beri bafllar›nda nöbet bekleyen flapkal› devler...
A fairyland journey...
Winding valley washed by springs, here a patchwork of vineyards, there an apple
grove; apricot blossom scented stillness broken by beat of dove-wing and song
of nightingale... The entrances to ravines and canyons flanked since time immemorial
by giant sentinels with hats of stone...
36/37
Bezirhane
Open Sesame...
Now the heart of Argos in
Cappadocia, this space has
been the spiritual home of
monks, a lodging house for
camel-driven Silk Road
caravans and, until a century
ago,
a facility producing linseed
oil ... With its remarkable
acoustics and pair of giant
domes, the latest incarnation
of this amazing structure is
as a venue for arts events,
meetings and social
gatherings.
1500 y›l önce keflifllerin ve rahiplerin bar›nd›¤›, ‹pek Yolu’nda seyreden deve kervanlar›n›n konaklad›¤›, yüz
y›l öncesine dek bezirya¤› üretilen bu mekân, Argos in Cappadocia'n›n kalbi niteli¤inde...
Ola¤anüstü akusti¤i ve iki dev kubbesiyle, izlenmeye doyum olmayacak sanat etkinliklerine ve unutulmaz
