3 days in Gaziantep Itinerary

A haven for foodies, Gaziantep boasts almost 200 bakeries with what many claim to be the best baklava in the world.

Change things up with a short trip to Old Halfeti in Halfeti (about 1h 20 min away). There's still lots to do: explore the historical opulence of Gaziantep Castle, hunt for treasures at Elmaci Pazari, see the interesting displays at Emine Gogus Mutfak Muzesi, and take an in-depth tour of Gaziantep Museum of Archaelogy.
