Kayseri

Kayseri is a city in central Turkey, which lies at the foot of the almost four-thousand-meter-high extinct volcano of Erciyes. In recent years, a modern ski resort has been built on its slopes. It may seem impossible, but it is true. And the skiing is simply great there. You can look forward to more than 100 kilometres of tracks, including 55 kilometres of groomed slopes of all difficulty levels, which can, without exaggeration, be compared to Alpine resorts.

In addition to excellent skiing, Kayseri will enchant you with historical buildings, authentic Turkish life, and beautiful nature. Visit Cumhuriyet Square in the part of the Old Town of the same name, dominated by the Bürüngüz Camii mosque, as well as a fortress built in antiquity – the Kayseri Kalesi castle, and the Clock Tower.

After visiting the sights, you can buy traditional Turkish products at the city bazaar (market), relax in a Turkish bath from 1542, and taste a real Turkish kebab in the local bistros. The Kayseri area is also famous for its woven Turkish carpets. Finally, we can recommend an hour-long-journey to Cappadocia, a unique rocky area with underground cities, historical monuments, and world-famous hot air balloon flights.
