Barbarian Medieval Tavern: Where History and Flavor Meet in the Heart of Ürgüp
Step into a world where time stands still — right in the heart of Ürgüp. Barbarian Medieval Tavern invites you on a journey through centuries, blending rich history with unforgettable tastes. Once used as stables during the Ottoman era and later as a post office in the early Republic when mail was delivered by camel and horse, this historical building has been carefully restored by the Erinal family into a unique medieval-style tavern.
Climb the time-worn stone stairs to discover panoramic views of fairy chimneys, rock tombs, and ancient mansions. Beneath, explore rock-carved caves and tunnels that hold traces of Hittites and Roman soldiers — a true underground wonder.
Savor the rich flavors of locally sourced meats, slow-cooked over coals, and pair them with medieval-inspired beverages, including boutique wines and regional craft beers. Every detail is designed to immerse you in an atmosphere where tradition meets taste.
Don’t miss the small on-site souvenir shop, where handcrafted, authentic items offer the perfect memory from this one-of-a-kind place.
