The Fairytale" has begun after the two-year-long restoration of an old Greek house. This historically listed house built in 1858 has been renovated retaining the original qualities in order to preserve the comfort and aesthetics. The Perimasali Cave Hotel which is located on a small hill in the middle of Sinasos, offers a
spectacular view of Cappadocia to its guests while giving them the chance to learn more about this historical site. The hotel is built in caves and stone-arch rooms which will make you feel as if you are in an immortal fairy tale...
Perimasali Cave Hotel is the first of the projects that Salih Birbilen - the promoter and the operator of the hotel - created in order to preserve the culture of Sinasos and to be able to pass it on to future generations. The main aim is to convert these designs into an architectural monument over a period of time. Salih Birbilen brought over ten years of experience of tourism to this historical Cappadocia town. In the warm, cozy atmosphere of the Perimasali Cave Hotel, you will naturally find beauty, nature, culture and comfort...
Ürgüp, 20 km east of Nevsehir, is one of the most important centres of the Cappadocia region. Like Goreme, it had numerous names in the course of its history, and its cave dwellings scattered around the village make it a very tourist-friendly destination. It has many hotels and guest-houses, good entertainment, old Greek houses from before the population exchange of 1923, and an atmosphere which has remained attached to its tradition despite a modernising tourist industry.
It is a good base to explore the nearby Goreme Valley.

History
With a geological structure of volcanic formations, Urgup was established within the region which had been shaped into fantastic forms known as ‘Fairy Chimneys’, through erosions of water and wind. The were formed as floodwater poured down the sides of the valleys, combined with strong winds which tore away the softer volcanic rocks, resulting in this unique landscape. It is an important centre in Cappadocia, and has been known by many names: Osian (Assiana), Hagios Prokopios (Byzantine), Bashisar (Seljuk), Burgat Kaalesi (Ottoman) and finally Urgup, from shortly after the founding of the Turkish Republic.
