Erciyes Mountain (3917 m)

Erciyes Mountain, Kayseri, Turkey by Hüseyin Avni YAZICI

The Sultan Marshes lie to its west and to the south falls the Develi valley. It’s summit is always covered with snow and ice, Mt. Erciyes ranks as central Anatolia’s tallest volcano.

Approximately 18 kilometers in diameter and covering an area of 1000 square kilometers, the mountain’s stratification and geology make it a fascinating geographical formation.

The region’s climate, influenced by that of the Anatolian plateau is typical steppe. Winter brings considerable snowfall to higher elevations. The northern side of the mountain enjoys a more temperate climate encouraging the cultivation of vast areas of vine and fruit orchards between 1100 and 1600 meters. Above that altitude, expanses of meadows stretch far into the distance. The higher elevations display typical alpine vegetation. Herds of animals graze year round on the east, north and west slopes of the mountain.

Temple of Apollo, constructed in the 2nd century AD.

Apollo:
The son of Zeus and Leto.
The god of truth and prophecy, archery, medicine and healing; music, poetry, the arts and finally light and the sun.

The temple is very impressive, especially when the sun goes down right behind it.
