Sadberk Hanım Müzesi

We finally visited the Sadberk Hanım Müzesi, a local museum which is full of interesting antiquities (from 8 thousand years ago, even) and other fancy stuff from Ottoman times. The gift shop had only a few postcards, so this image doesn't really do justice to the span of the collection:

While we were there, another English speaking group was finishing up their tour, and the most important thing one man wanted to know was whether there was a McDonald's or Burger King nearby. *sigh*
