Ibrahim the Turkish co owner of the hotel plays a pre dinner game with Ken.  They were playing for the hotel but by the end of the evening it was still safely under Ibrahim's stewardship.
Suleyman, Gamirasu's contact with the outside world via the miracle of the internet.  He is a great ambassador for the hotel and Cappadocia.  He  had endless patience when answering all our pre trip questions, booked our internal flights and had the tickets waiting for us when we checked into the Empress Zoe.  He runs a tour company in Urgup and loves to dance!

 

Iceridere Valley will always be Ibrahim's Valley to us.  A peaceful place to walk and explore.  Just you, the birds, bees, butterflies and flowers the only sound the distant crowing cockerels and braying of donkeys.  
Built high up on the walls above the stream are many dovecotes.  Few are as pretty as these.  Doves, symbols of peace and love.  I had hoped for some lovely romantic explanation for
this apparent devotion to doves but Ibrahim assured me they were cosseted for their' guano', rich in phosphates and ammonia.  Oh well!
