Small but significant site - well worth a visit!

5.00This bus service out to Catalhoyuk is fantastic value. It went on time and was really comfortable. The pickup location is also really central and easy to find. Once we got on the bus, the staff gave a brief overview of the site and what to expect in both Turkish and English, which was really helpful. They dropped us at Catalhoyuk and picked us up 2 hours later. We bought our ticket on site (5 euro for site and museum). The site itself is quite small but incredibly significant and well worth a visit. There is a new, interactive museum there too, which has lots of fascinating info about the history of the site and archeological processes. (There is also a toilet and Cafe.) My only regret was that they seemed to underplay the genetic evidence demonstrating it was a matrifocal, matrilineal society, as is also evidenced by the famous female fertility figures found on site. Apart from that, we really loved our visit here.
Great afternoon at Catalhoyuk

5.00It was easy to find where the bus left. The drive to Catalhoyuk took about 40mins. We had 2hrs at the site, which was enough to see everything and have a coffee. The site is pretty amazing and gives a good overview of how the people lived.
Comfortable transportation

5.00Reading another review, I think the ‘tour’ is misunderstood. It is not a tour per se, but rather transportation to and from the site, a function it fulfills admirably.
