Our guide Mehmet (not sure if spelling is correct) and the driver picked up the 3 of us promptly at our hotel. It was a long drive there and back, but a lot to see of this very old civilization. Mehmet was knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed a great lunch together and then saw some more of the ruins. We recommend this if you are interested in seeing the ruins of a civilization from ~3,500 BC.
