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.
