Van is a beautiful city that is located on the
eastern shore of Lake Van. The human
settlements there date back to 5,000 BC.
Tilkitepe Mound is the primary source of
information about Van’s oldest culture. There
are four islands in Lake Van, and Akdamar
Island is the second largest one. You can enjoy
a boat ride to the island to see the breathtaking
ruins.

Cappadocia is not only the name of a site, it is also a
region that includes cities like Nevşehir, Kayseri, Aksaray,
Kırşehir, Sivas and Niğde. The natural wonders known as
fairy chimneys may be the reason for the area’s popularity,
but this amazing location goes beyond that. Derinkuyu and
Kaymaklı Underground Cities, Göreme Open-Air Museum
and the rock castles of Ortahisar and Uçhisar are the
symbols of Cappadocia.
