Such a great day! We flew into Şanliurfa airport and was greeted by our guided Serdar and driver Ishmar (apologies if that is spelt wrong). We were taken to Harran and shown a beautiful traditional house, were given tea and rock melon and introduced to some local people who were very lovely. We then went to Göbeklitepe and words or photos cannot do justice. Serdar did a wonderful job in explaining the history and facts behind the site, and other ideas that people and archaeologists around the world are trying to piece together. We had a beautiful lunch at a nice restaurant with air-conditioning as it was above 40° outside. We did other stops like seeing a traditional carpet being made, going to holly site of the prophet Abraham and seeing the holly fish in the salt lake and finished up with a trip in the old bazaar. This day trip has been one of the most memorable experiences on our Turkey trip and we are so thankful to Sedar and Ishmar for the day. They were both excellent and highly recommend them and this tour.

A great way to spend a day if you are interested in history and archaeology. Only gripe is that it's quite expensive, especially given that you will be spending around 3 hours in total in the car because the places you'll visit are quite far away from each other.

Göbeklitepe was on our bucket list for some time, and our guide, Murad, and Deren Koray tours made it happen!
We had a wonderful time in Sanliurfa because of Murad’s guidance — he is a great conversationalist, with advance training in history and philosophy.
Murad helped us understand and articulate the essence of Göbelkitepe’s findings, and the transformative impact this has had on our thinking about the genesis of human cooperation, religion, and the overall need and utility of human congregations.
Murad discussed the findings at Göbeklitepe in context of geography, technology, and climate, connecting Göbeklitepe’s rise to its cultural connections across the region.
This tour of Göbeklitepe was a special one for js, and will probably remain the highlight of our visit to Turkey!

Monumento de primer orden a nivel mundial. Imprescindible para personas que les guste la arqueología y la prehistoria.

Siamo stati prelevati dall'aeroporto dalla guida, che parlava solo inglese ma che era accompagnata da un interprete che parlava perfettamente italiano.
Entrambi bravissimi e molto gentili.
Abbiamo visitato sia il sito archeologico (che è ancora in una fase iniziale di scavi, ma ritengo ci sia tantissimo ancora da scoprire), interessantissimo e affascinante, che le rovine di Harran e la grotta di Abramo.
La guida Serdar parla un inglese perfetto e comprensibile, per cui abbiamo lasciato andare l'interprete (chiamato dall'agenzia su nostra espressa richiesta, poichè temevamo di non comprendere adeguatamente la storia del sito) e abbiamo proseguito con lui. Tutto molto bello ed interessante.
Lo consiglio.
