Tour overview

Gordion, the former capital of the Phrygian Civilization, has a rich history that dates back to the end of the 12th century BC. The collapse of the Hittites led to the Phrygians settling in Gordion. In the 9th century BC, Gordion underwent a significant transformation and became a fortified city with massive walls and impressive buildings. The tumuli, ancient ruins, and historical artifacts found in Gordion have earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. It's a fascinating destination to visit, particularly because of its association with King Midas from mythology, who was said to have the power to turn anything he touched into gold and had the ears of a donkey.

Highlights

Gordion Museum Exhibits featuring Phrygian artifacts, including pottery, weapons, and inscriptions. Items from different historical periods: Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine.
The Midas Tumulus (Great Tumulus) The massive burial mound believed to belong to King Midas or another Phrygian ruler. Visit the ancient wooden tomb chamber, one of the oldest of its kind.
Gordion Citadel & Ruins Walk through the remains of the Phrygian fortress and city walls. Site of Alexander the Great's legendary cutting of the Gordian Knot (333 BCE). Excavated houses, temples, and storage facilities from different periods.
The Mosaic Building Features one of the oldest pebble mosaics ever discovered.
