Turkey has an unusually high concentration of ruins that are still visible
Anatolia was at the crossroads of Mesopotamia, the Aegean, the Mediterranean, the Balkans, Persia and the Caucasus. Many civilizations repeatedly occupied the same region.
So when you travel through Türkiye, you can encounter:
Göbekli Tepe — ~11,500 years ago
Çatalhöyük — ~9,000 years ago
Troy — 4,000+ years of occupation
Hattusa — Hittite capital
Ephesus — Greek/Roman city
Pergamon — Hellenistic/Roman city
Hierapolis — Greek/Roman
Aphrodisias
Sardis
Gordion
Byzantine cities and churches
Seljuk monuments
Ottoman cities
UNESCO currently lists 22 World Heritage properties in Türkiye, including 20 cultural properties, and its tentative list contains many additional archaeological sites.
That's why you can literally walk through ancient cities rather than seeing everything behind glass.
土耳其拥有极高密度的现存古代遗迹。
安纳托利亚地处美索不达米亚、爱琴海、地中海、巴尔干半岛、波斯和高加索地区的交汇处，许多文明曾先后在此定居。

查塔尔霍于克（Çatalhöyük）—— 约9,000年前
特洛伊（Troy）—— 延续4,000多年的定居史
哈图沙（Hattusa）—— 赫梯帝国都城
以弗所（Ephesus）—— 希腊/罗马城市

阿佛洛狄西亚（Aphrodisias）

目前，土耳其共有22处世界遗产（包括20处文化遗产）被列入联合国教科文组织名录，此外还有众多考古遗址位列预备名单之中。
