You're standing at Mount Erciyes, a dormant volcano south of the city of Kayseri, in the heart of Turkey. It's the highest mountain in Central Anatolia, almost four kilometres high, and the biggest volcano in the region. Look up at the summit. The Greek geographer Strabo wrote that it was never free of snow.
