Gamirasu

We stayed at the Gamirasu Hotel
It is a boutique hotel in an old monastic settlement, with cave rooms. Wonderful hosts and fantastic food. We had a personal guide who showed us the Goreme Open Museum, which is the heart of the monastic communnity, the underground cities (which housed up to 6,000 people during the persecution) and the innumerable chapels dating from the earliest times, through the iconclastic period to the largest and most ornate in the 13th Century. The opening scenes of the first Star Wars (when they are in the stone huts in the desert) were filmed here.
