Çukur, Çukur, Gaziler Cd. No:74-C, 27010 Şahinbey/Gaziantep, Turkije This bazaar has been in service since 1976. Jewelry stores, henna stores, traditional clothes shops, curtain stores, tailors and many other shops can be found in this bustling market. 120 minutes
Gaziantep Castle, Gaziantep, Turkiye Gaziantep Castle is a castle first built by the Hittite Empire as an observation point and later built into a main castle by the Roman Empire on top of a hill at the center of Gaziantep, Turkey, in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. It underwent further expansion and renovation under Emperor Justinian between 527 and 565 AD. The circumference of the round shaped castle is 1200 meters. The walls are built of stone and the castle consists of 12 towers.
The castle has been renovated numerous times and took its final shape in 2000. Today, the castle is used as the Gaziantep Defense and Heroism Panoramic Museum, and a documentary regarding the defense of the city against the liberating French forces after the fall of the Ottoman Empire runs periodically. 60 minutes
Emine Gogus Mutfak Muzesi, Gaziantep, Turkiye This museum is dedicated to the famous foods of Gaziantep. It is located in an old house near the castle. 60 minutes
Gaziantep Hamam Muzesi, Gaziantep, Turkiye This place is one of the most beautiful examples of Ottoman hammam culture and architecture. It was built in 1577 by Lala Mustafa Pasha. Actually it was in service as a pasha hammam for a long time. Then it was restored and turned into a museum in 2015. 60 minutes
Zeugma Mosaic Museum, Gaziantep, Turkiye Located in Gaziantep, Zeugma Mosaic Museum is of great importance in terms of art and ancient history. Invaluable mosaics are exhibited in the museum, which also holds the title of being the world's largest mosaic museum.
Standing out with the largeness of the museum building, Zeugma Mosaic Museum attracts many foreign tourists to the region every year. Another important feature is that it is home to the artifacts unearthed from Zeugma Ancient City, one of the most important archaeological discoveries of our age.
The most popular artifact in the museum is the mosaic unearthed during the excavations in the Ancient City of Zeugma in 1998 and called "Gypsy Girl" due to the hair braids and prominent cheekbones. 120 minutes
Gaziantep Museum of Archaelogy, Gaziantep, Turkiye The Gaziantep Museum of Archaeology is home to a large and varied collection of exhibits, some purchased and some obtained from archaeological excavations. As an area that has seen continuous settlement from the Lower Paleolithic Period until today, Gaziantep began establishing its museums back in 1944, with the Archaeology Museum on Istasyon Caddesi opening its doors in 1969.
Mosaics excavated from the ruins of ancient Zeugma and a growing number of other artifacts resulted in the museum running out of exhibition space, so in 2011 the mosaics were moved to their own Zeugma Mosaic Museum, and the government announced plans to redesign the Gaziantep Museum of Archaeology. In line with contemporary museum concepts, the exhibition halls have been enlarged creating new, modern display areas, and on 18 May 2017, the museum was reopened to the public. 60 minutes

Not sure that I was a big fan of pistachios before I went, but my goodness were they good here! The pistachio baklava and coffee were excellent! Also never would have thought to visit a mosiac museum but it was one of the most unique museums I've ever been in and beautiful. So glad we had an guide to both help us get around as there were very few people who spoke English. Thank you Silk Road for helping us have a wonderful visit, stress free!
