Kayseri Day Trip from Kayseri Hotels

Set out at approximately 09:00 AM, when our air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking guide collect you from your Kayseri hotel or the airport.

Gevher Nesibe Madrasah
This 13th-century Seljuk complex began life as a pioneering medical school and hospital. Wander its peaceful courtyard, study the ornate stone portal, and imagine scholars refining early surgical techniques beneath those graceful arches.

Kayseri Castle
Originally built in Roman times and later enlarged by the Byzantines and Seljuks, the castle’s stout walls and towers offer unmatched views over Kayseri and the snow-capped peak of Mount Erciyes. Explore its restored ramparts and hidden passageways.

Kayseri Archaeological Museum
Housed in a modern wing beside the castle, the museum’s collection spans 5,000 years—from Hittite cuneiform tablets and Phrygian sarcophagi to intricate Ottoman ceramics. Your guide will highlight the must-see masterpieces that trace Anatolia’s epic story.

Hunat Hatun Complex & Mosque
Founded in 1238 by the daughter of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I, this charitable complex served as a hospice, madrasa, and mosque. Admire the vivid Seljuk tilework, step beneath the soaring domes, and learn about its role in Seljuk social welfare.

Lunch Break
We will have a break for your lunch. (Own expense.)

Ağırnas Underground City
Descend into a shadowy labyrinth of tunnels, living quarters, and storage vaults carved into soft volcanic rock. Once a hidden refuge from marauding armies, these passages tell a story of resilience and ingenuity.

Sinan the Great’s House
Visit the modest stone home where Mimar Sinan—later chief architect to Süleyman the Magnificent—grew up. Inside, period furnishings and early architectural sketches hint at the genius whose designs reshaped the Ottoman skyline.

Old Town in Talas
Finish your day wandering Talas’s historic quarter: narrow, stone-paved lanes lined with traditional Ottoman houses, artisan workshops and colorful bazaars. It’s a living museum of daily life, past and present.

By early evening, we’ll return you refreshed and inspired to your Kayseri hotel or the airport, your perfect day in Kayseri City complete.
