Day Trips From Kayseri
Make some time to visit the Sultan Han, a truly fascinating building located approximately 45km away. This is a fantastic example of a caravanserai located along the silk route. These were used to keep travellers safe from highwaymen while they were resting.
Visit the beautiful but striking Kapuzbasi Waterfall in Aladaglar National Park. If you take your hiking boots with you, there are many trails to embark on. The landscape is stunning and it is certainly worth spending a little time here.
Drive down to Spring Lake and take a look around the myriad of salt lakes located here. There is also a great selection of bird and plant life situated here.
Neighbouring Nevsehir is only a 90 minute drive away. Part of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site so you will find many ancient settlements to look at. Full of open air museums, breathtaking valleys and buckets of history, a visit will not disappoint.
Whilst it is quite a way away, if you crave a day at the coast, head to Icel, also known as Mercel. Full of all of the typical draws of a beachside resort, wander through palm fringed beaches and soak up the sunshine.
