Welcome to Kayseri!

The ancient city of Kayseri on the eastern edge of Cappadocia, has outstanding Seljuk Turkish architecture and interesting bazaars.

Kayseri is marked by the Mount Erciyes that towers in the horizon south of the city. Its inhabitants are renowned for their alertness, entrepreneurial spirit and a strict understanding regarding the management of economies, the last point having been the subject of more than a few legends in Turkey.

The city itself is a blend of wealth, modernity and provincial conservatism and is often cited in the first ranks among Turkey's cities

Most of Kayseri's grand old buildings are made of dark, sombre volcanic stone, so different from the sunny volcanic tufa of Cappadocian buildings.

But Kayseri's Citadel and great mosques and medreses are still impressive Seljuk Turkish works of art.

Kayseri's citizens are renowned in Turkey for their commercial acumen, in other words, they're known as sharp traders. But you'll find friendliness if you visit the city's two historic market buildings: the Bedesten and the Vezir Hani, both near the Ulu Cami (Great Mosque) in the city center.

On Kayseri's outskirts are several grand Seljuk Turkish caravanserais, the Sultan Han and the Karatay Han, left from the days of the Silk Road.

Renowned for its culinary specialties such as manti, pastirma and sucuk, the city is also rich in historical monuments. While it is generally visited en-route to the international tourist attractions of Cappadocia.

Kayseri has many visitor's attractions by its own right; Seljuk monuments in and around the center, Mount Erciyes as trekking and alpinism center, Zamanti River as rafting center, the historic sites of Agirnas, Talas, Germir and Develi to name a few.

Kayseri is a major transport nexus for the region, with daily flights from/to Istanbul, a train station, and a busy bus station.
