Museums in Turkey - New working hours

Museums in Turkey will also be open in the evening. The Ministry of Culture has extended the opening hours of major museums and ancient sites for the months of June to October.

You can now visit these places until dark:
Ephesus and Hierapolis – until 23:00
Galata, Hagia Sophia, Aspendos, Side and Bodrum Museums – until 22:00
Ankara, Gaziantep and Şanlıurfa museums – until 21:00
— In addition, the underground cities in Cappadocia will also be open.

The full list is on the Ministry of Culture website.

The best thing is that you won’t have to run around in sweat to get to all the places you want.
