This is another of our cave suites. It used
to be a kitchen in the past. The family who lived here in
the past used this area not only as a kitchen but also as a
place to keep warm. They also pressed their grapes to obtain
grape juice, and then they boiled this grape juice on the
fire to produce molasses. In this multi-purpose kitchen
there was a “tandir”, a grape pressing apparatus, and a
weaving loom. During the restoration, we were obliged to
cover the area where there was the weaving loom. But the
tandir and the press have been kept as they are.
The suite consists of a living room, a
bedroom, a bathroom and an oriental unit. You may relax on
the sofa of the living room to watch Cappadocia, the land of
dreams. The rugs used for the decoration of the room are
19th century hand-made rugs. Also on display are 18th
century silk ikat covers and 80 year old bridal sheets, that
keep their original color and texture as though they were
brand new. The area we designed as the Oriental chamber is
the area that was used as a grape pressing unit. The
spinning wheel in the room belonged to the old landlord.
