Kayseri After the Slopes: What to Eat and What to See
What to do in Kayseri after a day on Erciyes: from mantı to pastırma, Seljuk monuments, the covered bazaar and short trips nearby.
One of the joys of a ski holiday on Erciyes is spending your evenings in a city as old as Kayseri. In our packages you stay in the city centre, so there is plenty of time to explore Kayseri's food and history after the slopes.
Kayseri's food
- Kayseri mantı: tiny dumplings with yoghurt and sizzling butter
- Pastırma and sucuk: Kayseri's famous cured meats
- Yağlama: a local dish of layered flatbread and spiced minced meat
- Nevzine: a traditional Kayseri dessert made with tahini and walnuts
Historic sights
Kayseri was one of the most important cities of the Seljuk period, and that heritage is visible all over town.
- Gevher Nesibe: a Seljuk hospital and medical school founded in the early 13th century, now a museum of medical history
- Hunat Hatun complex: a 13th-century Seljuk mosque, madrasa and bathhouse
- Kayseri Castle: historic walls in the heart of the city
- The covered bazaar and bedesten: for shopping and market life
Just outside the city
- Ağırnas: the village where the architect Mimar Sinan was born, and his house
- Talas: a pleasant walk among old stone houses and streets
- Sultan Sazlığı: an important wetland for birdwatchers near Develi
- Cappadocia: valleys, fairy chimneys and balloons, about an hour's drive away
In the evenings
Our package programmes include a night out in the city after dinner for anyone who fancies it. If you prefer a quieter evening, unwind in the hotel's indoor pool or spa.
