The single-entry fee for Turkish citizens without a MüzeKart could not be independently confirmed.

Important Information About Sunset Visits to Knidos

According to the official information for Knidos, the site closes at 18:30, while the ticket office closes at 18:00.

For this reason, especially during the summer months, watching the sunset from inside the archaeological site cannot be guaranteed.

The sunset tour may therefore be planned around suitable viewpoints in the surrounding Knidos area, depending on the season, official visiting hours and current conditions.
