Day 13 of your road trip in Turkey is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Kayseri before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Kurşunlu Parkı. This increasingly popular park is a popular place to see in the city.

Explore local shops for souvenirs to remember your trip or find unique gifts for loved ones.

Before you conclude your road trip in Turkey, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Kayseri.

Enjoy a lovely meal at Malatya Pide Fırını, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Kaşık-La is another top choice with a popular menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Kayseri. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Turkey!
