Why rent a car in Kayseri?
Although arguably not as famous as Istanbul, Ankara, or Antalya, the city of Kayseri has been growing in stature when it comes to tourism. Located near the geographical center of the country, it is rightly best known as the gateway to nearby Cappadocia but also has a few aces up its own sleeve. Here are three ideas for your trip:
- Cappadocia. There’s no escaping the fact that Cappadocia is the number one reason why people travel to this part of Turkey — and why wouldn’t they, when it provides such fascinating views? The moonlike landscapes alone are enough of a reason to make the trip, but the region also boasts attractions like several ancient and medieval sites and the Zelve Open Air Museum, which is located in an abandoned town. Cappadocia is southwest of Kayseri, and the drive will take about one hour.
- Sultan Reedy National Park. Although much less known than Cappadocia, this next-door nature preserve is another road trip destination that you can visit when in the area. A protected wetland of Ramsar designation, it is known for its variety of birdlife and other fauna. The park has a network of wooden paths, as well as several elevated observation platforms.
- Kayseri Archaeology Museum. Getting back to the city itself, you’ll discover that despite its industrial appearance, it is home to several interesting cultural institutions. One of those, the Kayseri Archaeology Museum, provides insight into the long and fascinating culture of the region that has seen the arrival and demise of many world-famous civilizations.

Sivas Airport is 218 km (135 miles) northeast of Kayseri and can be reached in 2 hours and 30 minutes.

City facts
- Located in Central Anatolia at an elevation of 1,050 m (3,450 ft), Kayseri has a semi-arid climate with very hot summers and cold, snowy winters. The average high temperature is 31°C (87°F) in July and August, the hottest months, and 4°C (39°F) in January, the coldest. Rain is almost non-existent from July to mid-September, but there’s an increase in precipitation in April and May.
- Home to some of the oldest cultures in the world, the region surrounding Kayseri has been inhabited for at least 4,000 years. Ancient landmarks like Cappadocia and Kültepe are well-known, but the history also survives in a number of smaller sites that used to be inhabited by Hittites, Assyrians, and Persians. Later rulers, such as the Greeks, Byzantines, and Ottomans, also left an impression on the area that can still be observed to this day.
Top destinations and activities
- Hunat Hatun Complex. Dating back to the Seljuk times in the 13th century, Hunat Hatun is one of the most beautiful mosques in the region. As impressive from inside as it is from outside, the architectural complex includes the mosque itself, as well as a large madrassa or religious school, a mausoleum, and separate hammams or saunas for men and women.
- Kayseri Archaeology Museum. Explaining the fascinating history of the region, this museum is made up of two halls. The first one is dedicated to the earliest cultures of the region and has some of the oldest artifacts in Turkey; the other has exhibits on the slightly later Hellenistic and Roman periods and hosts the impressive Heracles sarcophagus. In 2019, the museum celebrated its 50th birthday.
- Mount Erciyes. Standing nearly 4,000 m (13,100 ft) tall, Mount Erciyes is the third-highest mountain in Turkey. An extinct volcano, it is now one of the main winter sports hubs in the country, and, of course, offers absolutely amazing views. Mount Erciyes is just 29 km (17 miles) south of Kayseri and can be reached in about 50 minutes.
- Goreme National Park. Goreme National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to many natural wonders. Visitors can explore the area's stunning valleys, rock formations and cave dwellings. The park is famous for its large collection of "fairy chimneys," or tall pillars of volcanic rock carved by wind and rain over time. Visitors can also explore the rich cultural heritage of the region by visiting local churches, monasteries and underground cities.
- Ethnographic Museum. Another small, but interesting museum, it is primarily dedicated to life in Kayseri during the Ottoman Empire and is situated in several heritage buildings dating back to that era. The museum can be found in the city center, right next door to the aforementioned castle.

- It is illegal to use a mobile phone while driving.
- On regional roads, there might be fewer gas stations than on the national highways. Never stay too low on gas and always set out your route in advance to know the location of the next gas station.
- Due to high taxes, Turkey has very expensive petrol, with prices higher than even in most EU countries. Keep that in mind when setting out a route ahead!
- Turkey is overall a warm country, but during winter roads can be covered with ice, especially in mountainous regions. Do ask your car rental provider in advance if your vehicle’s tires will be equipped for the season.
- Occasionally you might encounter police roadblocks and even military checkpoints, especially in Southeastern Turkey. They are there for your own safety, and in most cases, they will only check your license and warn you about any potential danger that might lie ahead.
- The legal alcohol limit is 0.05% and 0.00% if you are driving a commercial vehicle. Exceeding the limit can lead to large fines and a 6-month license suspension.
- Proof of insurance and the car’s documentation need to be in the car whenever you’re driving.

- You are not allowed to use your horn anytime between 10 p.m. and sunrise.
Toll roads
Driving on most national motorways, including many motorways in Kayseri and the surrounding region, as well as some bridges and tunnels in Turkey requires a toll payment.
Most Turkish toll roads only permit an electronic, contactless payment from an electronic transponder that’s in the car or by an electronic chip-sticker that’s in the car. This means that you cannot pay either by cash or credit card for most toll roads (only a handful of newer ones will permit that).
All rental cars have to be equipped either with a toll-payment transponder or with a toll-payment sticker. Some rental car providers might charge an extra fee for this service. Do contact your rental car provided in advance to find out more.
The toll roads in Turkey are divided in HGS, the High-Speed Passage System (Hızlı Geçiş Sistemi in Turkish) and OGS (Otomatik Geçiş Sistemi in Turkish). On HGS roads, you can pass through the toll area at a higher speed. On OGS roads, you need to slow down as you go through a toll gate and the toll payment is registered through the electronic transponder that’s in the car. The exact amount you’ll have to pay will depend on the specific road you drive on and on the distance you travel.
Find out more about the toll roads in Turkey on the European toll road website.
Ideas for day trips
- Cappadocia. A large region spanning five Turkish provinces, it is safe to say that Cappadocia is a unique destination on a global scale. The area is best known for its unique rock formations (locally known as fairy chimneys)impossible rock formations and landscapes, but from ancient churches carved in rocks to vast underground cities, its culture is just interesting. Not to be missed, Cappadocia is just some 60 km (37 miles) west of Kayseri and can be reached in about 55 minutes.
- Kültepe. Inhabited since the Stone Age, Kültepe is best-known as an important city of Hattians, Hittites, and Hurrians, three ancient Indo-European cultures that inhabited the area around 4,000 years ago. Nowadays, the ruins of Kültepe are surrounded by beautiful nature and are the place of a strange and special atmosphere. Located just 20 km (12 miles) north of Kayseri, the site can be reached in about 25 minutes.
- Sultan Reedy National Park. Also known as the Sultan Marshes, this is the most notable nature preserve in the area. Although located about 1 km (3,280 feet) above sea level, the area is mainly made up of the saline Lake Yay and its surrounding wetlands. There are several wooden paths that permit visitors to see the park up close. The drive from Kayseri takes about an hour and 15 minutes.

Further destinations
- Ankara. The capital of Turkey is usually thought of as the political and diplomatic center, but there is so much more to this ancient city. There are great museums like the State Art and Sculpture Museum, a number of impressive mosques, and interesting off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods that seem to have changed very little over the last few centuries. Located 320 km (198 miles) northwest of Kayseri, Ankara can be reached in just under four hours.
- Konya. Known as the city of whirling dervishes, Konya houses the Mausoleum of Rumi, the resting place of the legendary Sufi prophet.

Every Saturday, the Mevlana Cultural Center (located about a seven-minute drive from the museum) hosts a show of dervish dancing and a lecture on Sufism. Other attractions of Konya include the Ince Minare Museum of the Seljuk and Ottoman eras, Alaaddin Hill, and four beautiful lakes that surround the city. Located about 300 km (186 miles) southwest of Kayseri, Konya takes 3 hours and 40 minutes to reach.
- Lake Beysehir National Park. Located near the city of Konya, this is a scenic protected area in Central Anatolia. The national park, the second-largest in the country, is made up of the beautiful Lake Beysehir and its little inlets, as well as the surrounding hills that provide plenty of trekking and hiking opportunities. The park is home to many aquatic birds like pelicans, herons, and little grebes. Located 405 km (251 miles) southwest of Kayseri, it can be reached in 4 hours and 50 minutes.
- Mersin. A quiet and scenic southern Turkish city, Mersin is located right on the Mediterranean coast. Most travelers come here for its beautiful beaches, but the city has other aces up its sleeve, like the Mersin Grand Mosque, Mersin Flamingo Park, and the unique Mersin cuisine that’s famous all across Turkey. Located 315 km (195 miles) from Kayseri, Mersin can be reached in about 3 hours and 30 minutes.

I usually don't take the time writing long reviews but Nissa Car Rental deserves it.
At first I was not sure to take a car with them due to some reviews they have on internet but after giving a try I can say it was totally worth it
The gave us the car we rented in a super good and clean conditions, the process was super smooth and they got an outstanding customer service. When I go back to Cappadocia for sure I'm going to rent it with them.
Thanks a lot
And they're open 24/7 (even better)
