Cuisine
In the hotel kitchen, organically produced food is
used. The chef presents the typical Cappadocian
style of dinner with six Turkish dishes.
Breakfast is presented as open buffet style where
you can find home made jams, locally dried apricots,
pure village honey, and cream straight from the
owner’s cow.
Dinner is served as six dishes. The first serving is
the soup of the day. One hot and one cold appetizer
follow as a starter. Salad comes with the main
course and the serving ends with dessert. The hotel
menu is different everyday of the month, enriched
with vegetarian varieties.
ROOM AMENITIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gamirasu hotel is a combination of seven old houses
with eighteen rooms, exquisitely restored and
combined. Part of the hotel was used by Christian
monks until recently. Some of the rooms were
actually monk cells. The quality of the cave rooms
makes you feel cool in the summer and warm in the
winter. Volcanic rock called "tufa" is perfect
insulation material which keeps the temperature
between 17 - 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
