HRH Prince Charles Visits Çatalhöyük

We had the pleasure of showing HRH Prince Charles around the site in November.

The tour proved to be a great success with many guests joining us from the Çumra and Konya Municipalities and Security and Army Offices, the Principal, Vice Principals and guests from Selçuk University, architect Cengiz Bektas,, the headman and visitors from the village of Kücükköy and many others including the British Ambassador to Turkey.

As well as a tour of the site and Visitor Centre The Prince had the opportunity to see a group of school children from Çumra and Kücükköy doing the activities that they do in the summer organized specially by Gulay Sert. We also invited a local women’s cooperative to present their work in felt using traditional methods to suit a modern fashion, organized by Mehmet and Sylvia Giriç.
