Although there aren't huge amounts to see, the settlement mound of Çatalhöyük is one of the most important excavation sites in the world.
Here, archaeologists have uncovered the largest Neolithic site ever found, with settlement here dating to approximately 9,000 years ago. Excavations are ongoing, and if you visit in summer, you can sometimes watch archaeologists working at the site.
A wonderful little museum at the entry explains the excavation history and the importance of the site.
