Practical guides to help you plan your Erciyes ski holiday.

Palandöken and Erciyes are Turkey's two highest and biggest ski resorts. We compare them on slope length, altitude, snow, travel, accommodation and who each one suits, and explain why the numbers vary so much between sources.

Yes, you can learn to ski without an instructor, but it is slower and riskier than it looks. Here is what you can teach yourself, what you can't, and how to do it safely if you decide to try.

There are three ways to stay for an Erciyes ski holiday: on the mountain at Tekir, at Hisarcık on the road up, or in Kayseri city centre. We compare the three on slope access, evenings, transport and budget.
