Kayseri'de Gezilecek Yerler

Kayseri Essentials

Kayseri serves as a gateway to Central Anatolia’s history and diverse landscapes. The region is anchored by the 3,917-meter Mount Erciyes, an inactive volcano and major ski destination. Archaeological landmarks include the Bronze Age settlement of Kültepe and 13th-century Seljuk monuments like Sırçalı Kümbet and Tekgöz Köprüsü. Beyond the city center, the Aladağlar National Park features the Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls, where water gushes directly from rock faces, and the Soğanlı Valley, home to Byzantine-era rock-cut churches and traditional pigeon houses.
