Top Attractions in Gaziantep
💡 Visit late morning when workshops are active. Don't buy without haggling - start at half the asking price. A small copper coffee pot makes a lightweight, authentic souvenir.
💡 Free entry and often has tasting samples of local snacks. Ask the staff about the history of the building - they're usually happy to chat. Combine with lunch nearby at a kebab shop.
💡 Take a dolmuş from the city centre to the village of Dülük, then walk up the path. Wear sturdy shoes - the site is uneven. Bring water and a picnic; no facilities. Best in spring when wildflowers are out.
💡 Combine with the nearby copper market and spice bazaar. Go late afternoon for best light on the stone walls. Check current access restrictions before visiting.
💡 Go early, around 9am opening, to avoid crowds and heat. The mosaics look best in morning light from the skylights. Budget at least 2 hours.
