Argos in Cappadocia sits in the village of Uchisar, a restored village-within-a-village overlooking Pigeon Valley with Mount Erciyes beyond, amid fairy chimneys and volcanic rock. Meticulous restoration has preserved a chapel, a caravanserai, caves, tunnels and monasteries, giving 71 individual rooms in cave or stone interiors, many with fireplaces and some with private heated pools. Dining is led by Seki, an award-recognised restaurant overlooking the valley, and Nahita, serving Anatolian cooking sourced strictly within a 60-km radius, both recognised in the Michelin Guide, with produce from the hotel garden. Beneath the grounds, the Cave Wine Cellar holds more than 22,000 vintages, fed in part by the hotel’s own 21-hectare vineyard, with private tastings. The Argos Spa uses regional healing herbs and Valmont skincare, and there is a year-round heated outdoor pool over the valley, an indoor cave pool and a gym. Experiences run from ballooning and private tours to cooking classes and Ebru marbling. A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, it suits couples and culture and wine-minded travellers who want a heritage cave stay.
