Miniaturk Visitor Reviews

Miniaturk Visitor Reviews

If you are thinking of coming to Miniatürk, you can shape your trip with visitor reviews:

'Making miniatures of all these works, placing them in such a large area, offering them to the service of our people is a really valuable labor. I congratulate those who have worked in this place.'

'A miniature version of the works that have signed the history in Turkey. It is a very nice place where you can spend time with your family. It is easy to reach, there is food, toilet and mosque. You can take a walk around.'

'There are many natural and architectural beauties that Turkey has, deconstructed together and modeled in an extremely realistic way. If you love traveling and Turkey, you should definitely visit it to give an idea. It is very nice to discover the existence of natural beauties in remote places of the main region that you do not know, to notice the architectural beauties that you know and are next to you, but you have never had the opportunity to look with a receptive eye out of habit, and the feeling that I really need to see these places that are formed inside you. In short, if Turkey were a movie, this would be the trailer for this movie.'
