Sinop Archaeological Museum
Sinop Arkeoloji Müzesi
Artefacts excavated from Sinope, the ancient Greek colony, displayed alongside the remains of the Serapis Temple and ancient stone sarcophagi in the courtyard.
The museum holds artefacts from the Sinop region spanning the Bronze Age to the Ottoman period. Its focus is on Sinope, the ancient Greek colony, with grave stelae, pottery, coins and statues, as well as Roman sarcophagi and Byzantine icons. The courtyard outside preserves the remains of the Serapis Temple and rows of ancient stone carvings. Tickets are required, and the Turkish Museum Card is accepted. The museum is in the old town centre, about 5 minutes on foot from the harbour, and can be combined with a visit to Alaaddin Mosque and the Pervane Madrasa.
