Join Bradt guide author, Diana Darke, on a journey through the hinterlands of eastern Turkey - a relatively unexplored region which is home to some of the most significant archaeological sites in the world. Diana will unravel the mysteries of 12,000 year-old Gobekli Tepe, the world's first temple, take you to the summit of Mount Nemrut, home to iconic head statues, and introduce you to the Gypsy girl in Gaziantep's Mosaic Museum.

Learn how this region has also long been a crossroads for armies, traders and religions, serving as a meeting point for numerous ancient peoples and cultures, including the Urartians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Armenians, and Ottomans.
