South Central Anatolia Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
About South Central Anatolia
South Central Anatolia is a geographical region of Turkey, not precisely defined but here taken to mean the cities and provinces of Konya, Karaman, Aksaray, Kırşehir, Nevşehir and Kayseri. It excludes the coast further south and cities such as Ankara and Kırıkkale further north. It's mostly a semi-arid plateau. There are mountains and valleys aplenty but overall no great natural barriers to transport, so many armies and cultures have swept across it. Those that have left their mark include the Hittites, Romans / Byzantines, Seljuks, Ottomans and modern tourists. The biggest tourist draw is Cappadocia, where soft volcanic rock has been weathered into fantastical landscapes, and hollowed out into dwellings, castles and entire cities. Another must-see is Konya for its Seljuk architecture. Fre
