Kayseri is
a major transport nexus for
the region and holds the principal airport
for Cappadocia.
By
Plane
Several flights daily
go from/to Istanbul.
Kayseri's Erkilet
Airport has a brand-new
modern terminal. Shuttle buses coordinated
with flight times take you to or from
your hotel in any
Cappadocian
town such as Göreme or Ürgüp
for a reasonable fare.
—Argeus
Tourism & Travel of Ürgüp operates
the Turkish
Airlines airport-to-hotel shuttle
service.
—Peerless
Travel of Ürgüp operates
the shuttle service for Onur
Air,
Pegasus
Air, and Sun
Express.
Taxis from the airport
charge approximately TL15
to take you to the city center, TL27
to the bus terminal,
TL60
to Mount Erciyes, and TL100
to Cappadocia (Ürgüp, Göreme,
etc.). Check with the driver(s) for
current fares, as these may have changed.
Reserve
your shuttle seat in advance to
be sure of your ride. If you
don't have a reservation, there
may
be a seat, or there may not.
By
Bus
Kayseri has a busy bus terminal,
with frequent, convenient service
to Ankara, Nevsehir (for Cappadocia)
and Sivas,
among other cities. Minibuses shuttle
travelers on the hour-long trip
between Kayseri and most Cappadocian
towns such as Avanos, Göreme and Ürgüp.
By Train
The main railway line runs from Ankara
to Kayseri, then splits, one line running
east to Sivas, the other south to Nigde,
Karaman and Adana, skirting Cappadocia
to the east and south.
Express
trains take about
seven hours to cover the distance
between Ankara and Kayseri. (Compare
this to the bus's four hours from
Ankara to Nevsehir.)

arrives at Kayseri in the evening. Güney
Ekspresi departs
Ankara early in the morning,
and arrives at Kayseri in mid-afteroon. Çukurova
