Ahlat Selçuklu Mezarlığı

Historical landmark

👍👍 If anyone dies for the sake of the country, it is the country. Our 1000-year-old history is a must-see to see the people who made Anatolia their home and to understand our history better. The museum is closed because it is Monday, the outside is open and transportation is easy. I recommend it.

Çavuştepe Kalesi

Historical landmark

😐 Buraya, anayolda dolmustan inerek ve yürüyerek ulaştım. En girişte tek bir bilgilendirme panosu var, başka da bilgi yok. Zaten gişe ve insan da yoktu. (Belçikalı ziyaretçiler dışında) Yine de tepenin sırtında, bayrağa kadar yürüyerek görebileceğiniz birkaç yüz m boyunca kale-saray kalıntıları var. M...

Mount Ararat

Historical landmark

👍👍 It was always a dream to get to the top of this Biblical Mountain. We finally did it with friends. From the last camp at 4150m took us 4.5 hours to get to the top.

Mecidiye Tabyası

Historical landmark

👍 Ecdadımız neler yapmış, nelere katlanmış mükemmel bir yer. Evet biraz bakımsız ve özelleştirilmiş. Birçok yer özellikle yer altındaki Depo ve tüneller muhtemelen güvenlik nedeniyle kapalı. Çok beğendik ve çok memnun kaldik
