Evanthia is a historical Greek mansion built in late 18th century and owned by Evanthia Ignathio who
was a healer and dedicated her life to cure with her gift inherited from Saint Johannis. Evanthia lived in this mansion until the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, then she left Cappadocia without any trace. Later the mansion was acquised by a well-known local family. Many famous and distinguished guests such as the former president of Turkish Republic Ismet Inönü were hosted while visiting Ürgüp. In 1980 the house was abandoned and therefore deteriorated. The restoration of Evanthia started in 2018 and it took four years to complete while preserving the orijinal plan. The mansion is certified as heritage building by the Ministry of Culture.The Hotel will be honoured to welcome you to Evanthia where you can feel refreshed by the positive energy of the building.

The name Cappadocia is thought to mean ‘land of beautiful horses’ and in Roman times the brood mares from Cappadocia were very highly prized indeed.
The region of Cappadocia is visually stunning; its haunting landscape is best seen from the air. We highly recommend you take a hot air balloon ride during your stay; it is the most popular way to enjoy the amazing scenery. Eerily resembling a moonscape, soft volcanic rock has sculpted caves, clefts and the magical ‘fairy chimneys’.

Cappadocia is known around the world as one of the best places to fly with hot-air balloons. The spectacular surrealistic landscape, combined with excellent flying conditions, allows the balloons to gently drift over and between fairy chimneys and pigeon houses hewn from the unique rock formations, through beautiful orchards and vineyards and impressive valleys with distinctive rock formations and features – and then float up over rippled ravines for breath-taking views across the region.

Reviews
The MDC Cave hotel in Cappadocia was truly amazing. For some reason we were upgraded to a King size suite which we weren't going to complain about as the room was spectacular. Despite also some confusion over the balloon trip when we first arrived this was delayed for a day but we got to go on it and will never forget the experience. The daily excursions too were just out of this world and made all the more special by our guide. I would like to say though, the MDC Cave hotel has the most shambolic food ordering system I'm afraid which most people complained about. Ordering your food on a app doesn't work at all so I wouldn't recommend that part to anyone. Andrew and June Welch - 24 Oct 2022
