In the afternoon there was an optional tour visiting the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. This museum is not very big, but incredibly they have exhibited artifacts including items dating a few thousand years B.C. I'm glad that I went, because the museum itself is already a fascinating place, with very extraordinary architecture and interior design.

Photo #3 is a close-up of an exquisite design on the ceiling. There are a few like this in the exhibition halls.
