ModernExplorers visited on 10th Jun 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Interesting site in the middle of Turkey.
Located at a spring with some large megalithic carvings and some artwork that resembles ancient artwork from different continents
Twobuffs visited on 1st Sep 2011 - their rating: Amb: 5 Access: 5 What is fundamentally obvious about this site is that it is still being used today, maybe as it has been used for '000's of years. There is an atmosphere here that generates a "feel" often removed by newer surroundings, commercialisation, tourism etc.
