It was great to visit the oldest known temple on earth. It was the oldest temple ever discovered on the planet dating back to 9600 B.C. Although they are a bunch of T-shaped carved rocks, they have some interesting artistic features and an incredibly deep history. Necessary to tour the sites with a local guide because there is a lot to see and learn here. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and active. Thank you very much for all the travel team.

Gobeklitepe is the oldest human settlement on Earth! Even if difficult to find an available tour to Gobeklitepe, not at all promoted we insisted to arrive here and the effort was rewarded. Not many agencies organize tours to Gobeklitepe in Turkey. We were lucky and found this agency online. A great archaeology museum, very modern, and the archeological sites and the pool of Abraham as well. Verry strange and full of meanings place in Turkey! Was it indeed the first astronomical observatory in the world?? Fascinating, and the sites are well presented by Turkey Tourism. Recommended this day trip from Istanbul.
