Review:

Informally known as Antep, the city of Gaziantep is the commercial heart of Turkey's southeast. There's no shortage of hotels and restaurants, and unique souvenirs can be purchased from the artisans in the Coppersmiths' Bazaar. A number of excellent museums can be found here as well, including the Gaziantep Zeugma Mosaic Museum, the fascinating Gaziantep Zeugma Mosaic Museum, and an archaeological museum that houses an excellent collection of Roman ceramics. The area has always been famous for its pistachio orchards as well, and today the city is undoubtedly the best place in the world to sample traditional pistachio baklava.
