Kayseri is one of the main gateways to the Cappadocia region, the other major airport being on the western side of the region at Nevsehir. I was just passing through, but I read that it's a successful business center with a thriving textiles industry. It's also relatively conservative religiously and is home to somewhat fascist political group. Despite this, it is said to be a friendly place for travelers.
All I can say is that its airport is small and easy to get in and out of quickly, the city looks somewhat modern from a distance, the mountain shown in this picture (Erciyes Dagi) is impressive and the roads are excellent!
Kayseri is about 80 kilometers from the heart of central Cappadocia (i.e. Goreme, Urgup, etc). You can arrange transportation to the village of your choice if you fly in on either Turkish Airlines or Onur (as I did), but be sure to arrange this at the time you book your flight. It should cost around 10 YTL for a shuttle van. |

Is this the mountain range where Mount Ararat is located? |
