Kayseri is the main gateway to Cappadocia. Most visitors land at Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR), just north of the city, and continue to the cave hotels of Göreme, Ürgüp and Uçhisar, about an hour's drive away. With a Kayseri airport transfer booked on Tranigo, a driver meets you at arrivals and takes you straight to your hotel at a price fixed when you book. You can also compare the Kayseri Airport shuttle and Kayseri Airport taxi options.
The city itself is worth a stop: the Seljuk-era mosques and madrasas around the old citadel, the Döner Kümbet tomb and the covered bazaar are all in the centre. Its name comes from Roman Caesarea, once the capital of Cappadocia. In winter, Mount Erciyes, about 25 km south of the city, is one of Turkey's best ski resorts, and Kayseri is known for its cuisine — try mantı and pastırma.
From Kayseri you can join the classic Cappadocia tours: hot-air balloon flights at sunrise, the Red and Green Tours, underground cities and valley walks. Many tours pick you up from your hotel in Cappadocia; if you stay in Kayseri, book a transfer to Cappadocia with Tranigo and travel at your own pace.

Getting from Kayseri to Cappadocia: the drive from Kayseri Erkilet Airport to Göreme or Ürgüp takes about an hour on a good road. Public buses run only a few times a day and do not stop at the hotels, so most travellers prefer a private Kayseri to Cappadocia transfer that waits for delayed flights and drops them at their door. Return transfers for early-morning flights are also available.
Planning more than a day in the area? Combine your Kayseri airport transfer with a balloon flight, a day tour or a local guide on Tranigo, and you pay the price you see when you book.
