Göbekli Tepe est locus archaeologicus Turciae meridio-orientalis. Fuit ut videtur hominibus aevi Neolithici locus sacer. Simulacra et stelae ibi repertae hodie apud Museum Archaeologicum Edessenum monstrantur.

It is the oldest known temple (10.000 BC) in the whole world and its mystery has not been uncovered fully. Worth spending an hour with a guide. A small gift shop and toilets are available.
Absolutely mind blowing place, top historic site in the world, a lot of the site is still uncovered and I hope what is will be protected, needs more explanation on site
Without an interest in history, this site will mean very little to you. Excavations are not yet completed however on the plus side, it is very easy to reach if in Sanliurfa. Hire a car.
First thing about Gobeklitepe, restoration process is on hold till late september/early october. The deck hides details which I really wanted to see. The site seems to be really good at the end :)
