Day 1 - Chronicle of Caravanserais

Kick off your adventure in Kayseri with a hearty Turkish breakfast in your hotel. Set the stage with Külliye, a complex showcasing Kayseri's intricate architecture. Then, take a scenic drive to the astonishing Agzikarahan Caravanserai. Think of it as a medieval motel for weary travelers and their beasts from centuries ago. Take a bite of history as you join a guided tour around the fortress-like building. After a day of travel back in time, head downtown to enjoy delicacies at Elmacıoğlu İskender. Nothing screams Turkey more than a plate of their famed Iskender Kebab, right? End the day visiting the bustling Forum Kayseri for some retail therapy. It's been a long day, sink into your cozy bed and give your body the rest it deserves.

Day 2 - Miracles of Mother Nature

Wake up, adventurous souls! Let's start day 2 with a visit to the miraculous Soğanlı Valley. Doesn't hiking through a valley with several rock-cut churches and monastic complexes sound should like your type of workout? Refill your energy with a picnic while enjoying picturesque views. Later, head towards the Underground City of Derinkuyu. Remember when you played pretend and dug holes imagining them as your home? Well, this place was an actual underground city home to thousands of people. If you're claustrophobic, mentally prepare yourself as you discover how people lived hidden beneath the ground. After a hefty day, treat yourself to a Turkish Bath or Hamam at a local spa.

Day 3 - Celebrations of Culture

Final day! But stay excited, because we're going to the Kayseri Archaeological Museum. Ever wondered about the lifestyles, beliefs, and deaths of ancestors? Here's your chance. The tombstones, sculptures, and inscriptions are sure to give you an insight. Next, get ready to see a slice of heaven at the stunning Sultan Marshes National Park. Don't forget your binoculars; remember, up to 3 million birds migrate here. Last but not least, end your thrilling journey tasting the mouth-watering Manti (Turkish ravioli) at a local restaurant. As they say here in Turkey, 'Afiyet olsun' or 'Enjoy your meal'.
