    Meeting the guide was typically Turkish! stand around looking lost where the instructions say eventually someone comes up saying are you waiting a guide if so you have to wait across the road. Then after much looking at tickets and phone calls you get an entry ticket! The guided bit is pretty short and very quiet in a noisy cavern but the jump the Q is welcome on the hot days but you have as much time as you want to enjoy the sight! Which is truly impressive and there are placards to fill in all the missed guide bits

    The guide was not there. TripAdvisor coordination is zilch. I was not the only one, rather another two tourists had the same issue and none of us speak the language.

    Really interesting experience, the cistern is very atmospheric (and quite dark on occasion). Well worth a visit. We didn't bother with the skip the line tickets at the time we went (May), just queued up and bought tickets - the ticket office is across the road from the exit. Took about 25 minutes to get tickets. I suspect it'd be wise to go early during the peak summer months.
