About TAN: TAN stands for Turkish Archaeological News (http://turkisharchaeonews.net), a website that was created in 2013 with the aim of providing news about the latest archaeological discoveries in Turkey and neighbouring regions. The project has been developed into a travel portal, dedicated to history buffs who happen to visit Turkey, searching for historical buildings, ancient ruins and fascinating museums. TAN website publishes texts about such places as well as news concerning archaeological excavations and discoveries. All our texts are illustrated with the original photos that TAN editorial team has taken during our travels around Turkey. We have been visiting this beautiful country regularly since 2004, and the website, as well as TAN Travel Guides, are the reflection of our ongoing fascination with Asia Minor.
