Kocasinan is a city and a district in the Turkish province of Kayseri . Since a regional reform in 2014, the municipality ( Belediye ) is congruent with the district (ilçe). All previous villages ( köy ) are now districts ( Mahalle ) of the municipality. The northern part of the provincial capital Kayseri belongs to Kocasinan .
The district is located in the northwest of the province. It borders on the province of Yozgat and Felahiye in the north, on Özvatan and Bünyan in the east, on Melikgazi and İncesu in the south and on the province of Nevşehir in the west . The two highways D-260 and D-300 meet in the district. The former connects Ankara with Sivas via Kayseri , the latter comes from Izmir on the west coast and continues to Van in the east of the country. A railway line reaches the district from Ankara in the northwest, crosses the city and leaves the district in the east towards Sivas. In the north the Kızılırmak flows through the district, which is dammed up here to the Yamula Barajı . Kayseri Airport is located in the northern urban area of Kayseri .
In the east of the district is the archaeological site of Kültepe , the Hittite Kaniš.
