This is the main entrance to the hotel.
The Peri Tower Hotel in Cappadocia region was were we stayed. The higher architectural elements of the building are symbolizing the "fairy chimneys" of Cappadocia.
A cylindrical ramp goes down to the main lobby
This is a digrammatic, vertical section of an underground city. First floors of the underground city served as stables for the domestic animals, because upper floors were higher and convenient for this use. On the second floor a lying down blocking stone, some living rooms, cometery and Christian Church are available. On the third floor too many storage rooms, mill stone to make flour, wineries to make wine and wine cellars to store wine. In some of the wine cellars, some of the broken wine jugs can be seen. On the forth floor, there are some more wineries and grape storages. A long gallery leads people to the communial kitchen, In the kitchen too many food storage areas, ovens, a kind of hard stone which served multi functions, such as morter, melting copper, barricade to block the passage to stop enemies (bazalt or andezit stone).
