Erciyes, with an elevation of 3916 meters, is a volcanic mountain whose summit is always covered with snow and fog in winter, and has become synonymous with the city of Kayseri. This lava-spewing mountain, responsible for the ‘fairy-chimney’ rock formations in nearby Cappadocia, impressed the Meek people living at its base so much that their coins bear an impression of the mountain with lava boiling out of the top. The first person to successfully make the summit was W. J. Hamilton in 1837, and the first Turk was Mr. Miralay Cemil Cahit in 1924.

Besides being a popular spot for mountain climbers, it is also one of Turkey’s best winter-sport resorts. From the top of the mountain, if the weather is clear, there is a stunning view of an area stretching from Cappadocia to the Taurus Mountains.
