Cavusin, pronounced ‘cha-vu-shin,’ is a captivating Cappadocian village in Turkey, known for its cave hotels, cave churches, and a wall of crumbling cave homes. The village is divided into two parts: the old town, which was abandoned in the 1960s due to the risk of rockfalls, and the new village that took its place. Today, the old town is experiencing a revival, with hotels and cafés emerging, inviting travelers to linger and explore the atmospheric ruins and historic sites.
