From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Small but interesting museum of prehistoric material. The mummified babies and nuns are creepy. The most interesting object is the Hittite stele from circa 700 BC, depicting Tarhunzas the weather god.
Remarkable monastery and settlement carved out of the soft rock: the church frescoes look to be 6th century. "Gümüşler" means silver, mined locally, but the place was forgotten about for centuries until rediscovered in 1962.
Grand it's not, and pricey for what you get, but overall a decent central mid-range business hotel.
Basic but adequate small hotel.
Friendly place and value for money.
Smart modern hotel 2 km west of centre, convenient for motorists.
A daily train Erciyes Ekspresi takes 2 hr 20 min from Kayseri and continues south to Adana. The direct train from Ankara has been suspended for years.
