8 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Nevsehir That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

It was amazing. A must visited site specially for those who are familiar with and interested to Islamic mysticism. In a small town, visiting such a beautiful and well designed and informative site and museum was interesting. I also recommend visiting archaeological museum. The hacibektas can be reached by the minibuses departed hourly from Nevsehir city center for 7 TL.

Beautifully-crafted rugs are the pride of Turkey, and a legacy from the ancient Turkish migration from Mongolia (northern Asia) to the Anatolian Plateau. The Matis Turkish Rug School is a government-sponsored school to preserve and teach ancient weaving techniques. I enjoyed an excellent tour covering rug production: starting with silkworm cocoons in a tub, unwinding the cocoons, spinning thread, using natural dyes, and the painstaking creation of a carpet on a loom. Rug makers work from a pattern and must have nimble fingers to tie the tiny knots in the precise locations and colors. I was given advice about what to look for when purchasing: fine silk rugs may have up to 450 knots per square inch on both front and back of the rug. Angora is the best wool, and 300 knots per square inch is the maximum number that can be done on wool. Dozens of beautiful rugs in a variety of styles, colors and designs were spread on the show-room floor, and we were invited to touch them, even walk on them. I consumed a light lunch and beverages (gratis) while contemplating an abundance of carpets, large and small for sale. Prices varied quite a bit, depending on complexity of design, fabric, and number of knots per square inch. Matis Turkish Rug School offered to ship any rugs purchased to my home. If you think you might purchase a rug while in Turkey, this is an excellent place to learn about what to look for, even if you wind up buying a rug elsewhere.
