Magnificent ancient city. Best time to visit is spring mornings. You need a good 2,5 hours for the city and the museum. Amazing place.

Amazing place to visit, takes you back in time, audio devices with many languages. so much to take in. Its a must visit. Taking the horse and carriage to enter was an amazing experience. Tip, take 2 liters of water per visit, light clothing, a sun hat is essential. This place is. very open and looks unspoiled, it left me wanting to see it all over again.

Probably the best archaeological site in Turkey. Incredible history surrounding it. Make sure to read a little before you visit or to have a good knowledgeable guide with you to appreciate it. We have been here 4-5 times and in every visit we find something we had missed in the previous visit. Your need to spend a full day or two to appreciate the whole site.
