Niğde is a provincial city in south-central Turkey, sitting at 1,200 metres above sea level on the edge of the Cappadocia region. Flanked by the Aladağlar (Ala Dağlar) National Park to the south and the volcanic Melendiz Mountains to the north, the city is an undervisited gateway to dramatic alpine terrain, Seljuk-era architecture, and the haunting underground city of Tatlarin. Niğde's compact old town preserves mosques, a citadel, and covered bazaars that date to the 13th century, while its fertile plateau produces Turkey's finest apples and potatoes.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
The best value food experience in Niğde costs almost nothing — order the günlük menü (daily set) at Tahsin'in Yeri or Çarşı Lokantası for 100–150 TRY (~US$3–5) and eat what locals eat every day.
In October, stop at every roadside stall between Niğde and Çiftlik to compare apple varieties — locals are happy to let visitors taste before buying.
Tarhana soup mix makes an excellent lightweight food souvenir — buy from the bazaar in dried form.
Niğde elma pestili (flat dried apple sheets) are unique to the region; find them at bazaar stalls and roadside stands.
