Book a night in a Turkish cave

Book a night in a Turkish cave

One of the best things about Airbnb is that it gives you the chance to travel like a local, rather than a tourist. This authentic, converted cave not only reflects the way the locals live, but is also set amongst a neighbourhood brimming with cultural experiences.

Ortahisar is a quaint and peaceful nice village, with plenty of opportunity to specialise with residents. Walk amongst the historical houses and expansive valleys, visit two ancient castles, a museum and the local shops and market.

The home itself is 80 square feet and is fully equipped with a scenic terrace overlooking the town. With a saloon, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a scenic terrace, Anitya is the perfect way to experience both luxury and reality-the perfect balance.

You won’t believe the kinds of five-star trimmings that have been added to this once average abode. Visit the full listing with all the information here and scroll through the gallery above to see the images.
