As a full-time traveler, it’s rare that I meet people who work in hospitality that turn from friends to practically family in a matter of days. The entire staff at Koza Cave took me in as family and I will forever be grateful.

Not only do they have the highest terrace in all of Cappadocia, but they keep their place small to maintain an intimate feel. Samed, one of the coolest guys I know, is the main guy running this place, and you’ll see him helping set up your rooftop terrace shots, helping check you in, giving rides into town, or inviting you to the fireplace on the terrace with his friends.He does it all and will make your stay 10x better.Read More …
