Location

Hisar Evi ("House of the Castle") is situated in the quiet old town of Ortahisar which means " Middle Castle " and takes it name from the old rock castle that rises up majestically in front of the hotel. This stands amidst a maze of old caves and houses; some deserted some occupied much as they have been for centuries.

The town, like much of the region is pre-Roman and has retained its character well having been fortunately a bit overlooked by the tour buses. The tranquility of the location is interrupted only by the occasional dog barking, village chatter or the calls to prayer that echo around the valleys that surround the castle. Cars are infrequent.
