Gaziantep Castle
A Hittite-era fortress rebuilt by the Romans and Byzantines, sitting on a central mound above the city. Entry is cheap, and the Defence and Heroism Panoramic Museum inside tells the story of the 1920 siege.
City in Turkey
Gaziantep
3 things to see
UNESCO-designated creative city of gastronomy and the undisputed food capital of Turkey, where the baklava alone justifies the trip and a full kebab meal costs a couple of euros. The Zeugma Mosaic Museum houses some of the ancient world’s finest floor mosaics, and the copper-roofed bazaar is a working market, not a tourist set piece, so wandering it costs nothing. It sits far from Istanbul in the southeast, which keeps prices low and crowds thin compared with the tourist trail. Spring and autumn dodge the harsh summer heat of this inland region.
