Phrygian Traces at Zeyköy

Explore the district’s rural archaeological landscape.

Zeyköy occupies a rocky slope on the northern foothills of the Sivrihisar mountains. Its southern valley contains Phrygian remains, extending the visit beyond the town’s built monuments.

Recorded features include twelve chamber tombs, two stepped altars and a grape-pressing basin about a kilometre south of the village. They are associated with the Zey Castle settlement farther south.

The valley and rock formations help explain the remains together. This is uneven archaeological terrain, where observing without climbing or altering surfaces contributes to their protection.
