The Village Cave

 In the 1950's, the old village of Çavuşin was abandoned due to the heavy erosion and rock-falls around the houses. The people from the village had to leave their traditional houses to live in the "new Çavuşin" which was created nearby.

Later the tourism started to develop and there was considerable interest in the old and traditional-style houses once again, we decided to return to the historic life of the village and restore one of the special cave houses into a luxurious and authentic Hotel "The Village Cave"
