The Sultan Reeds National Park on the skirts of Erciyes Mountain welcomes its visitors with reeds longer than a human height as well as bird sounds.

The park, which was declared a protected area in 2020, was named after the Ottoman Sultan Murat IV who stayed there with his army for three months on his way to the 1636 Revan Expedition.

Three people have been arrested in the Central Anatolian province of Kayseri after five shepherds were killed and their animals stolen between 2010 and 2013, in what is presumed to be a rare instance of a serial killing in Turkey.
