Hobbit houses to become holiday village in Sivas

Earth-sheltered houses in the Central Anatolian province of Sivas are set to become a part of a holiday village to lure tourists from all over the world.

The Sivas Municipality is building more houses, inspired by the “Hobbit Houses” in the blockbuster “Lord of the Rings” and which received keen interest by domestic and foreign visitors.
The new houses are currently under construction, as six current hobbit houses, which hosted tourists from European countries as well as Australia, China and Japan, have been insufficient in meeting demands.

Built in the Paşabahçe picnic area, the terraced houses cater to the needs of large families. The one-bedroom abodes, fascinating with their architecture, each have a kitchen, living room and a bathroom. Their daily price is 120 Turkish Liras.
Sivas authorities aim to increase the number of the hobbit houses to 50.
