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.

Get a sense of the local culture at Zeugma Mosaic Museum and Rumkale. Step out of Gaziantep with an excursion to Old Halfeti in Halfeti--about 1h 20 min away. There's lots more to do: step into the grandiose world of Gaziantep Castle, see the interesting displays at Emine Gogus Mutfak Muzesi, look for gifts at Bakircilar Carsisi, and learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Gaziantep Zoo.
