Adanos Konuk Evi

Eight stone-carved rooms make up Adanos Konuk Evi, a restored Cappadocian guesthouse in Avanos's Alaaddin quarter, a short walk from the Kizilirmak riverbank potters' workshops the town has worked since Hittite times. Free parking and an airport shuttle suit travellers touring the region by car rather than bus tour.

Breakfast is served on a terrace overlooking Avanos rooftops, with a spread guests single out as the property's strongest feature. Tea and coffee makers sit in every room, and the on-site restaurant and bar cover evenings without needing the car again. Goreme's open-air museum is a fifteen-minute drive east.
