Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Nevsehir, Nevsehir Province
The unofficial capital of the Cappadocia region, Nevsehir makes a great central base for exploring the surrounding area and its many underground cities and countless fairy chimneys. Founded as Nyssa by the Hittites more than 3,000 years ago, Nevsehir has historical attractions from many eras, including the ruins of the Ottoman citadel overlooking the city and the 18th-century Kursunlu mosque in the Damat Ibrahim Pasha complex. Nevsehir Museum, one of Turkey's finest, is also very popular.

One of the famous underground cities of Cappadocia, Kaymakli contains over 100 tunnels with low, narrow and sloping passages. Although the structure goes deeper than 100 feet below ground, only the first four floors are open for public viewing.

The two major sites are Kaymakli and Derinkuyu. We were advised that Kaymakli was the less busy, therefore less claustrophobic and with less tunnels with low bending walking. That was our choice. Easy to find in the village of the same name signed off the D765 into a large car park and modern entrance building. A fascinating journey into an underground city. Guides available outside, but at 150tl very expensive for what can be as short as a 30 minute visit. If you have done a little reading about the history of these underground dwellings a guide telling you the same doesn’t add too much and the rooms were marked, ‘winery', ‘kitchen' etc. For a self visit, there are red arrows pointing the way in, these then change to blue pointing the way out, although they are not always immediately obvious. . One thing I wouldn’t want to be doing is with a group of the size going in when we were coming out, 50 people. I would refuse to join. The vast majority of rooms will not hold half that number and you'll be moving along very slowly in a really crowded tunnel.

This is a must see place in Cappadocia. Little scary and adventurous. People with claustrophobia should avoid. Going 4 floors down through hardly 500 mm wide and 1 m high passageways is difficult for some people. It is astonishing to even think how those people made this. Especially the circular stone doors to keep enemy away.

A must-see if you're ever in the beautiful, unique part of the world. The museum shop also has some nice merchandise, as does the pottery stand outside. Be aware that sunshine is strong and direct in this part of the world, so always keep a sun hat nearby.
