Argos In Cappadocia: Where Fairy tales come to life
With its blue skies studded by a series of multi-coloured, hot-air balloons floating over fairy-tale-like chimneys and honeycombed hills, Argos in Cappadocia is synonymous with magic and romance. An ancient settlement revived through a 25-year restoration process, this hotel has 51 rooms that boast rustic niches and corners shaped by volcanic rocks, modern furniture embellished by Turkish handicrafts, and the option of rooms with private pools. The pet-friendly destination offers historical venues, ideal for close-knit weddings: Vadi, a garden space dotted with caves and the naturally acoustic ambiance of Pigeon Valley; Bezirhane, a 2,000-year-old monastery with a dramatic flair; The Chapel, a striking chamber that once served as a place of worship; Monks, an outdoor space on sloping terraces overlooking fairy chimneys; and an impressive, repurposed Museum Hall. At each venue, the resort’s experienced staff assures a seamless celebration.
An exclusive honeymoon package of three nights at the resort includes a stay in rooms with private plunge pools overlooking the mountains, breakfast in bed, and an hour-long couples’ massage. A candlelit dinner at Seki Restaurant adds to the mysticism; a glass of the house wine as you stroll through the UNESCO World Heritage Site’s wonders enhances the romance. argosincappadocia.com
