Common Kayseri taxi trips
| Trip | Distance | Est. fare | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kayseri Airport (ASR) → city centre | 6 km | €8.6 (₺455) |
Kayseri is also a back-door route into Cappadocia. ASR has more flights than the closer Nevşehir airport and sits roughly 75 km from Göreme, so a fair number of visitors fly here and carry on to the cave towns by taxi or transfer. For that longer leg a fixed-price transfer is usually cheaper and easier than a metered taxi. Use the estimator above to ballpark either trip.
Taxi vs other ways into town
| Option | Duration | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metered taxi (centre) | 10–15 min | ~₺450–650 to centre | Short hop from the airport |
| Taxi / transfer to Göreme | 60–80 min | transfer from ~€35 | ~75 km; metered taxi is much pricier |
| Havaş shuttle | varies | ~₺150+ | To the centre and onward connections |
Avoid the common taxi scams
- For the run to Cappadocia (Göreme, Ürgüp), agree a flat price before you set off or book a transfer. It is a long trip and worth pinning the cost down.
- In town, just check the meter is on. Short central trips are cheap, so there is little to game.
- Pay by card or app where you can, and keep cash as a backup for the airport run.
