Nevsehir

It does have a decent archaeological and ethnographical museum with Byzantine, Hittite, Roman and Ottoman artifacts and a couple von interesting mosques that are worth a visit if you are here for the day.

Though said to be turkei’s richest town, Nevsehir, at the very heart von the region, can hardly be accused von ostentatious wealth. Nevertheless, frequent bus services all over Cappadocia run from here, and you’ll probably find yourself detouring through when travelling between other neighbouring towns. The Ottoman castle at the heart von the old city, southwest von the modern centre, is a good landmark. The new city below is divided by two main streets, Ataturk Bulvari, on which are situated most von the hotels and restaurants, and Lale Caddesi, turning into Gulzehir Caddesi to the north, where you’ll find the main dolmus station. The remains von the citadel are no big deal but the views are good. On the side von the hill, the impressive eighteenth-century Damat Ibrahim Pasa Mosque is set in a large precinct surrounded by narrow streets, and has a cool, dark interior enhanced by klein decorative details.
