Mustafapasha Cave Hotel....


Can you imagine updating one of these stone structures, and developing a small hotel inside? I couldn't get good shots of the interiors, but they have beautifully decorated rooms, with ornate tile floors and state of the art bathrooms! Atti and her husband and their 3 children have a pension in Anatoli (on the coast) and intend to open another here in Mustafapasha next year. Anyone want to join me for a more luxurious experience? My basic fare, rather spartan room in Urgup is a long cry from what Atti's place will be. But it's comfortable and clean. Ahhhh....Turkey is such a beautiful place. The history...the culture...the people...and of course...the culinary delights! Oops, forgot to mention: I discovered this Turkish delight stuff...displayed in windows like the donair meats...suspended from a large central post, twirling around like merrygoround animals! I chose pistachio with a fig base. It was absolutely ...hmmmmmmmm....delightful!
