How we earn

A plain account of how this guide is funded, what our sister site is, and what that means for what you read here.

The Göbeklitepe Guide is free to read, carries no advertising, sells nothing and publishes no prices, fees or ticket information.

Our sister site

Trip planning and bookings are handled on gobeklitepeai.com, a visitor community and planning site run by the same team. Both sites are published by Pixelo Mobile Ltd. Links from this guide to that site are marked "on our sister site" wherever they appear.

Where the money comes from

On gobeklitepeai.com, some links to tours, tickets, places to stay, transfers and travel services go to partner companies. If you book through one of those links, the partner may pay us a commission. The price you pay is the same. gobeklitepeai.com carries its own affiliate disclosure with the current list of partners.

Readers can also support the guide directly through the "Support the developer" link in the footer.

What it does not change

Commission income has no influence on what this guide says about the archaeology. Where a claim is debated, we say so; where a popular reading is not accepted by the excavators, we leave it out. The two sites have different jobs and we keep them apart: this one explains the place, the other helps you go.

Before you travel

Whatever you book, verify opening hours and entry arrangements with official sources first.
