Niğde - Kemerhisar - Tyana Antik Kenti
The character of the Route:
The route, which explores the ancient roads adorned with legends, starts in Niğde, the region's capital, for a long time. The route, which uses comfortable and calm roads, pauses at the Roman pool carved into natural rock and completes using cut stone and marble blocks. The aqueducts, encountered just before entering Kemerhisar, accompany the explorers to the ancient city. The route, which ends in Tyana, a place for many civilizations from prehistory to the collapse of the Hittites, invites exploration with its calm flow.
