"This is a brilliant exhibition well presented with priceless paintings and interactive views of the Turkish in war around 1915 to 1928 and the part played by Attaturk. Loved it from start to finish"
Anatolian Civilizations Museum (Anadolu Medeniyetleri Muzesi)
"The Ankara Citadel is peopled in relatively large numbers, still, by local inhabitants who live in quite poor conditions. The view from the top level is breathtaking. Getting there means braving begging and rather insistent requests to purchase tourist articles. There is an excellent small restauran..."t, And, where you can sit on a veranda with a gorgeous view, sipping chai and eating a folded pancake.
