Top Culture in Mediterranean

Take a moment to explore the nearby area, especially the old town, Kaleiçi. It’s so charming, and you'll find some cool shops and cafes without spending too much.

Bring water and some snacks with you. There's not much around the fortress, and you’ll want to stay hydrated while exploring those steep paths.

Don’t forget your camera for the sunset! I thought I’d missed it, but I was lucky enough to catch it just in time – sooo worth it!

I suggest getting there by 8 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy some quiet moments while taking photos. Trust me, the early morning light is awesome for pics.

My advice is to grab a brochure at the entrance. It has a great map and highlights, plus it’s super handy for planning your route through the exhibits.

I recommend bringing some snacks and water with you. The museum café is okay but can be a bit pricey, so it’s good to be prepared.

If you’re traveling on a budget, try to visit on a Saturday when entrance fees are often discounted. It saved me a few lira!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The path can be a bit steep and rocky, and you won't wanna miss the incredible views trying to find your balance!
