HELLO, GAZIANTEP

Mosaics, caravanserais and bazaarsWelcome.

Visits to museums and bazaars in Gaziantep complement each other. Traces of mosaic heritage, castle surroundings and traditional handicrafts offer different reconnaissance titles in the same city. It may be a more comfortable option to leave the park outside and walk while reaching the historical center by car.

With a museum trip in Gaziantep, culinary exploration complements each other. You can combine time devoted to mosaic heritage with a walk around the bazaar and a local food break. Try to get to know the city's culture at different stops, without reducing it to just a plate or a single museum.

SAVOUR THE CITY

Gaziantep food traditions
a place at the table.

It is difficult to identify Gaziantep cuisine with a single dish. The city records of the Cultural Portal offer a selection that extends from different pot dishes to pastries. Instead of trying everything in one meal, make room for different tastes throughout your trip.
