Argos in Cappadocia

Argos in Cappadocia is in the village of Uçhisar in Nevşehir province, looking over Pigeon Valley to Mount Erciyes beyond. Cappadocia is famous for its fairy chimneys, and staying in a cave is part of the experience.

The hotel is built from historic stone and cave spaces, with nine room types from Standard Rooms to the Grand Cave Splendid Suite and a Two Bedroom Suite. There is a spa, a gym and a heated outdoor pool, open all year, with views over the valley. Nahita serves Anatolian dishes and Seki international cooking, both with lounges, and there is a wine cellar. Seasonal ingredients come from within 60 km, with herbs and produce from the hotel's own garden.

Argos lists Bezirhane, Monks and Vadi for weddings. Bezirhane is an indoor hall of 137 sqm with high ceilings and good acoustics. It was once a linseed oil workshop and in its long history has also served as a monastery and a caravanserai. Monks is a grassy plateau of 64 sqm in the gardens, with fairy chimney views. Vadi, at 390 sqm, is an outdoor garden ringed by volcanic rock caves, the largest of the three. The Chapel, a cave chapel of 59 sqm, is used for private dinners and wine tastings.

The hotel works with weddings of up to 80 guests. Ask the team which space suits your numbers, and about set-ups, exclusive use, legal ceremonies and music limits.

Guests can stay at the hotel itself, choosing from rooms, suites, jacuzzi suites and cave suites. Ask the team how many rooms there are, as the total is not published, and where larger groups can stay nearby.

Cappadocia gives guests plenty to do around the wedding. Hot air balloon flights are the famous one, and the hotel arranges balloon experiences, seasonal picnics and its own tours of the region. The area is also known for handmade silk and wool carpets and for Anatolian cooking, which gives guests something to take home. The heated pool and spa make a calm morning before the ceremony. Ask the team about the nearest airport and transfer times, as these are not published.
