Tourist Attractions In Gazi Antep

The Archaeology Museum has important items from Neolithic, Hittite and Roman times. The Hasan Suzer House houses the Ethnographical museum. The artisans of Gazi Antep specialise in in copperware and furniture inlaid with mother of pearl. Their restaurants produce some of the best food in Turkey – Iahmacun, a delicious pizza topped with spicy meat and herbs, and baklava, a flaky honey and nut pastry.

The Duluk Forest makes a good day’s outing and there is a good campsite if you want to stay overnight. A Hittite sculpting school was centered in Yesemek and now displays over 200 works of art reminiscent of the period. Next to the Syrian border, on the banks of the Firat River, Kargamis is another important archaeological site. The site’s finds including huge bas-reliefs, have been shifted to the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara.
