This Gaziantep gourmet tour from Mardin pairs the museums and old bazaars of Gaziantep with the food culture the city is known for. It is listed as a two-day programme of about 500 km that begins in Mardin and finishes in Gaziantep, with listed hours of 08:30 to 20:30. The day plan below covers your guided day in Gaziantep itself.
Sightseeing starts at 09:00 in the Gaziantep Museum. From there you head up to Gaziantep Castle in the middle of the old town, then on to the Historical Bath Museum, set in an old hamam building. At noon the Culinary Museum, housed in a historic mansion, shows how the region has cooked and eaten for generations. At 13:00 the group breaks for lunch, with time left over for shopping.
The afternoon belongs to the Zeugma Mosaic Museum, where the Roman floor mosaics saved from the ancient city of Zeugma on the Euphrates are displayed. Afterwards you wander through the Coppersmiths’ Bazaar and the spice stalls and stop at the historic Tahmis coffee house. The sightseeing part wraps up at 17:00, when the gourmet part of the programme takes over, and at about 18:30 you are dropped at your accommodation.
Your guide, transport within the region and airport transfers are covered by the price. Meals, museum and site tickets, main transport to and from the region, tips and personal extras are paid separately. Gaziantep is famous across Turkey for pistachio baklava and kebabs, so leave room in your plans for both.
