The population of Nevsehir clocks in at a modest 153,117, but don't let that fool you - this Central Anatolian city has a continental climate that delivers bone-chilling winters and scorching summers. While the town may boast a historic castle and a few picturesque churches, the modern city itself is not exactly a tourist magnet. In fact, the underground cities and fairy chimneys that draw visitors to the broader Cappadocia region tend to bypass Nevsehir entirely. And if you're hoping to zip around on a high-speed rail network, you'll have to wait - the planned services connecting this city to destinations like Ankara and Antalya are still a work in progress. All in all, Nevsehir is better suited for those seeking an authentic, no-frills Turkish experience than glamour-seeking expats.
