Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) Transfer Guide
Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) is the busier of the two gateways to Cappadocia, with more flights than Nevsehir, though it sits further out at roughly 75 km from Goreme. Into Kayseri city itself it is an easy hop of about 6 km. The Kayseri taxi tariff starts at ₺65 and adds ₺65 per kilometre, with no night tariff.
If Kayseri is your destination, a metered taxi into the centre is short and cheap. If you are heading on to the Cappadocia towns, the 75 km run adds up fast on the meter, so a pre-booked transfer is usually the better value and removes the negotiation. Plenty of visitors fly into ASR purely for the flight options, then transfer on to Goreme or Urgup.
