Unfortunately, the terrain is often overcrowded, as many bus tourists swarm in the morning. It is better to explore the very extensive archaeological site in the late afternoon. On the one hand, it is now much "quieter" and on the other hand, the sunlight is now much softer and brings impressive details to shine.
