a picture of our dormitory room in Emre Cave Hotel. it was nice to sleep in here. the weather outside was 40 degrees celcius but our cave's temperature was only 15 degrees. there was no aircon nor fan in here. it could have been the material used to build this room

Derinkuyu underground city was expanded from natural caves in the 2nd century, linking them together and in addition to dwellings, creating chapels, churches and whole monasteries. Cappadocia was frequently invaded, raided and looted and to protect themselves, the ancient people took to living in the region's caverns and grottos where entrances could be concealed. these dwellings eventually included sources of water, places to store food, kitchen, wineries and temples. Cappadocia was a place where different faith and philosophies met and influence one another.
