Top Culture in Mediterranean

I recommend wearing comfortable shoes since there’s a bit of uneven pavement around the area. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

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.

if you're on a budget, skip the restaurants near the fortress. head down to town instead for some yummy and cheap local eats - way better!

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.

I suggest allocating at least 2-3 hours to explore the museum. I rushed through and regret missing some interesting sections. Savvy travelers will take their time!

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.

You might want to check if there are any special exhibitions before your visit. I stumbled upon a temporary exhibit that was really fascinating!

My advice is to spend some time in the garden outside. It’s a lovely spot to relax a bit before diving into the museum.

Don't forget your camera! The mosaics are stunning and you'll want to capture the details. Just be respectful of the no-flash rule!

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.

Check out the surrounding shops and cafes. I found a cute little place right by the minaret that had great local snacks at reasonable prices. Perfect for a quick break!

Skip the overpriced souvenirs in the immediate area and head a few blocks toward the harbor. You'll find unique items at much better prices plus a nice stroll through the old town!

If you want to save some money, bring your own water and snacks. The little shops nearby can be pricey, and you’ll want to stay hydrated while exploring those tombs!

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!
