Çatalhöyük Archaeological Excavation Site and Virtual Museum

While we were worry how to get to Çatalhöyük Archaeological Excavation Site, we found trip through Viator. The price is good and the starting time matches our need. All the tour support staff are nice and supportive. We enjoy much. Thank you.

Our visit to Çatalhöyük was an extraordinary experience, far exceeding expectations. The site's rich history and meticulous preservation captivated us from start to finish. The exceptional archaeological exhibits, coupled with profound insights into ancient human civilization, made this experience truly unique. We highly recommend Çatalhöyük for anyone seeking an enlightening and unforgettable journey into the past, as it offers unparalleled engagement with history.

#Çatalhöyük people #NeolithicEra people who lived around 7000BC in metropolis of the time (like present day lstanbul, Madrid or Tokyo of the time), we come across strikingly different lifestyle which we would not expect from hunter&gatherer&farmer era people. What is striking is that researchers found out that these people lived in equal conditions, no one was superior from the whole group! Similar size houses, no sign of a king or high level religious figures. A finding that shocks present day human mentality as all the system we live in today is designed in favor of those who believe they are better, superior as a result deserve to have the best of everything! Something that make us think are we the primitive ones?! Did we advance in humanity or not?! If you @go_konya , make sure to visit this #unescoworldheritagesite since 2012 to find out how we humans forgot better ways of living together in harmony. The site has a well designed visitor center that is fun to explore by all age groups.

This is a must do experience in Konya. Before I came I didn't even know about it but I'm glad that I went. The digital museum is one of the best I have seen, a lot of thought was out into it and it was so detailed. It was easy to book the ticket and the tour bus experience was good. Our tour guide was helpful and spoke English well. I don't remember his name but it was on 22nd March.

Solo traveler. Legit service. I booked online and showed up to the ticket office a couple hours before the bus (1pm). They gave me a paper ticket and I returned a few minutes before the bus left. Very easy to find, it’s right across from the Mevlana Müzesi (Rumi mosque that you will see from a mile away). Got right on, got some basic guidance about the visit, and away we went. Very smooth, very professional. Entry to Çatalhöyük is only 5€ and can be paid when you get there. The two hours they stop is plenty of time to visit the site. I read almost everything in the museum, checked out the model houses, walked a full lap around the mounds, and then went to the excavation.
