Central Anatolia (Cappadocia)
The provincial capital of Kayseri which stands at the northern foot of the Erciyes Dagi volcano and at the eastern end of the Kayseri Ovasi must surely be one of the most rewarding destinations in Turkey. Although the city itself is an important industrial center and at first sight has little to offer the tourist, the magnificent mountain backdrop, the picturesque old town (part of which has been preserved) and the wealth of interesting monuments has helped to raise the city's tourist profile in recent years - despite or because of its proximity to the spectacular tuff chimney landscape of Cappadocia.
