Kaman-Kalehöyük is a tell, a mound built up from occupation from the Bronze Age into Ottoman times. Findings have been gathered in an archaeological museum which itself resembles a tell, within a grassy mound. Excavation in the 1980s was by the Japanese, who also built a Japanese garden next to the museum.
Clean, friendly and central.
Reliable clean place with a big glass facade.
