Amisos Antik Kenti

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:46:15

If you'd like to see where the Amisos treasure in the Archaeology & Ethnography Museum came from in 1995, head west for 3km to Batıpark (West Park) on the coast and board the Samsun Amisos Hill Cable Car , which will take you in just four minutes to the site of two mounds laid over burial chambers. Reach the cable car's lower station via the SHRS tram (stop: Baruthane).

On the hill, the south tumulus has a rock-hewn tomb with two chambers; the north one contains a tomb with three linked chambers. There's a boardwalk running round them with some explanatory signs.
