Complete Guide to Göbekli Tepe: The World's Oldest Temple 🏛️

Located about a 20-minute drive from Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey, Göbekli Tepe is the world's oldest temple, built around 9600 BC. It predates even the Egyptian pyramids. 📍How to Get There From Istanbul, it takes about 2 hours by plane to Şanlıurfa Airport, followed by a 40-minute taxi ride to the site. Local buses in the city are marked as 'Zero'. 💞Why Visit? For history enthusiasts, this site is a treasure trove of ancient wonders. The scenic drive to the site is also a highlight. While it is gradually becoming a tourist destination, you can still witness live excavation work. 🎯Tips for Visiting - Guided tours (available in English and Turkish) are highly recommended. - Wear comfortable walking shoes. - In summer, don't forget a hat and to stay hydrated. - There is a shop on-site. - Since there is limited information in Japanese, gathering details locally is advisable. A must-visit UNESCO World Heritage site for archaeology and history fans.
