Kelebek Cave Hotel Review: The Best Hotel in Cappadocia

Most of the time I am the one who choose our hotel/ hostel/ apartment for our family holiday. But there are times when mr.husband told me to see one hotel and his choice all this time always very special.

Just like when we were doing our research to find accommodation in Cappadocia, mr.husband told me to see Kelebek Cave Hotel. And it was love at the first sight! I didn't see any other hotel, I sent email to the reservation  right away.

Located above the village of Goreme, Kelebek Cave Hotel offers incredible view to the village, valleys, mountains and of course the balloons (in the morning). They have cave or cave stone rooms, even they also have the fairy chimneys rooms. And of course we book one of their fairy chimney room.

Unforgettable Experience in Cappadocia: Organic Breakfast From Kelebek Cave Hotel

Cappadocia is not only about the balloons hunting or the balloons ride. This place is special for us also because of the experience staying at Kelebek Cave Hotel. I haven't written my review about the hotel yet, but as I am trying to have a healthy lifestyle at the moment, I would like to share with you about our Organic Breakfast which was provided by the hotel.

When I sent email to the hotel before booking our rooms, I asked the hotel regarding the Organic Breakfast. The hotel staff replied my email and said that the breakfast is free for the guests staying at Kelebek Cave Hotel. What lovely!

On our third morning at Cappadocia, we were transferred by a tractor from the hotel to one farm located down the hill. And when we got there, the fresh and organic vegetables welcome us. For sure, it was an unforgettable experience that we had in Cappadocia.

Look at those yummy food!

Naik Balon Udara di Cappadocia Turki dan Vlog

Akhirnya saya menulis juga posting ini, pengalaman kami naik balon udara di Cappadocia. Setiap kali saya menulis tentang balon udara, berat rasanya karena saya kemudian ingin membeli tiket pesawat ke Cappadocia #halah!

Salah satu yang wajib dilakukan ketika liburan ke Turki adalah mengunjungi Cappadocia untuk naik balon udara. Sebetulnya, naik balon udara bisa di banyak tempat, di Melbourne juga bisa. Tapi pemandangannya tidak akan seunik di Cappadocia.

Karena itu, kami merencanakan dengan matang dan tinggal cukup lama di Cappadocia (4 hari 3 malam). Sebagai bagian dari risk management, jika balon udara tidak terbang di hari yang kami inginkan, kami masih punya hari berikutnya.

Ternyata kami tetap terbang sesuai rencana, yaitu pada hari ketiga kami berada di Cappadocia. Walaupun kemudian datang angin kencang, hingga Mr.Pilot menurunkan balon udara lebih cepat dari waktu seharusnya. Saat-saat menegangkan, yang membuat saya akan berpikir dua kali untuk naik balon udara lagi:D

Travel dreams do come true

Sewa Mobil di Cappadocia

Salah satu travel dreams yang sudah sekian lama ada di dalam bucketlist kami adalah naik balon udara. Kami pernah berencana naik balon udara sewaktu berlibur ke Melbourne, namun kami batalkan karena memang impian kami adalah naik balon udara di Cappadocia.

Setelah akhirnya kami membeli tiket ke Istanbul, dilanjutkan dengan domestic flight dari Istanbul ke Cappadocia dengan Fly Pegasus, kemudian kami bingung apakah perlu sewa mobil di Cappadocia?

Untuk menuju Cappadocia, kami memilih terbang dari Istanbul ke Nevsehir Airport karena jam penerbangan yang lebih cocok. Dari Nevsehir airport, terdapat jasa penjemputan dari hotel yang kami pilih, Kelebek Cave Hotel. Atau kami juga bisa naik taksi sekitar 80 euro. 

Akhirnya kami memutuskan sewa mobil untuk explore Cappadocia, agar lebih mudah menjelajah kota Goreme. Memasuki kota Goreme, pemandangan yang menakjubkan menyambut kami, dan saat itu saya merasa bahwa keputusan sewa mobil di Cappadocia adalah sangat tepat :)

Welcome to the magnificent city of Goreme
