Akar Hotel

This simply furnished hotel is characterised by its' structure of locally sourced stone and low-rise build. Situated on the old Silk Road route, the hotel is built in the style of the old caravanserais or inns which used to populate the route. Positioned by the main road into the small town of Ihlara, some 35 km south of Aksaray in central Turkey, the hotel is a good base from which to explore this area which is mountainous and home to Hasan Mountain, a 3,000m high volcano. The centre of Ihlara is approximately 1 km away and local amenities can be found here. Further afield guests can explore the mystical region of Cappadocia with its' fairy chimneys and Acemhoyuk, an early Bronze Age settlement.
