Hatay Archeology Museum, Antakya

An excellent museum with displays relating to all historic times. The collection of mosaics are incredible and there are some very well preserved sarcophagus. Well worth a detour to visit, also do not miss the the Hotel museum

This is a fairly new museum. You will need more than an hour if you want to see everything. A wealth of information, artifacts, history and culture all in one place. Well presented and it seems as if there is more to come. Definitely worth the trip. Note, you can purchase one entry ticket here and also see St. Pierre Church and another museum for a discount fee on the same ticket. Ask when entering. For locals, a museum pass is a great idea. It's much cheaper.

One of the great museums you can ever visit, huge and divers collection. Can't be missed if you in Antakya visting it is a must. However, it needs minimum two hours so make sure you have enough time when you go there.

Undoubtedly, one of the best antiquity museums that I have visited- its mosaic exhibition is amazing (and rivals Tunis's Bardo museum) and the tutorials and information is easy to follow and understand. It gives a great context to the region from pre-historic to the Ottoman period. A must see!

An impressive museum with a variety of exhibits about the area's very old history. I have been to many museums in Europe and this one could easily be in one of its capitals. The finds from the Hittite period are particularly impressive, as is the quality and massiveness of the mosaics from the Roman period. Worth it!
