Moonlight Cafe

Ürgüp


This bar-restaurant is known for its live traditional music. Late on a weekend night, with musicians blasting out soulful tunes, expect plenty of dancing and singing from the crowd in the downstairs bar. Don't expect to be able to have a conversation because it really is loud. Many locals still know the bar by its old name 'Barfiks'.
