Hotels in Goreme

Why Stay in Göreme?

• The Göreme Open-Air Museum and valleys such as Kılıçlar and Güllüdere are within walking distance.
• Most balloon companies depart from Göreme, so morning transfers are short.
• The town centre has plenty of restaurants and cafés.
• Many hotel terraces are perfect for watching the morning balloons.

Types of Hotel

Most places to stay in Göreme are cave hotels with rooms carved into the rock and boutique hotels in stone houses; guest houses and hostels are available too. Cave rooms can have small windows, and hillside hotels often involve many steps. We compare Cappadocia’s villages in Cappadocia Cave Hotels: Göreme, Uçhisar and Ürgüp Compared.

When to Go

April to June and September to November are the best periods for walking and balloon flights. Summers are hot and dry with cool nights; in winter the valleys are covered in snow and balloon flights are cancelled more often. Because flights depend on the weather, we suggest staying at least two and ideally three nights.

Getting There

The nearest airports are Nevşehir Kapadokya and Kayseri. For a private transfer to your hotel, see Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport to Goreme transfer and Kayseri Airport to Goreme transfer. Dolmuş minibuses link the villages, and walking, horse rides or ATV tours are popular ways to explore the valleys.

Things to Do in Göreme

The frescoed churches of the Open-Air Museum, a sunrise balloon flight, sunset over the Red Valley, the Paşabağ and Devrent valleys and the underground cities of Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu are the classics. Nearby Uçhisar and Ürgüp offer a different side of Cappadocia.

Who Is It For?

Göreme is ideal for first-time visitors to Cappadocia, travellers planning a balloon flight, couples wanting a romantic cave-hotel escape and walkers keen on the valleys. For a calmer, panoramic stay consider Uçhisar; for town life and wine houses, Ürgüp.

Practical Tips

• Book your balloon flight for your first morning so you can retry if it is cancelled.
• Take plenty of water and a hat when walking the valleys; trails have little shade.
• For hillside hotels, ask about luggage help or a transfer.
