Tyana - Bor - Niğde

The character of the route:

The route, which starts from Tyana, the capital of the Southern Cappadocia Kingdom, proceeds on a comfortable road following the aqueducts from the Roman Period. Following the visual feast presented by the history engraved in the surreal geography, the track begins to climb, passing through the Bor District, which bears the traces of the old Turkish principalities. The route, which rises to 7 km, ends in the fairy-tale city of Niğde.
