    Definitely worth a visit. Inspiring history, old buildings and ruins. Unfortunately there is a lot of tourists visiting. If there wasn't that crowded it would get the last and 5. star

    An absolute treasure trove for history buffs. A must see open place museum definitely worth the 40TL ticket per person. Just remember to have an umbrella, sunscreen and your sunglasses in summer or expect dehydration b scorching hot weather. This a nice place which gives you plenty of food for thought.
