Van Travel Guide
|
Van is in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. It is located on the eastern shore of Lake Van (Van Golu), a salt lake which is locally known as Van Denizi (the sea of Van). Lake Van is largest lake in Turkey.
See * The castle and old city of Tuspa a few kilometres west of the city. * The ancient Armenian church (Ahtamar or Akdamar) on a small island in Lake Van is beautiful, but the church is currently closed for restoration, making its impressive frescoes impossible to see. Check around to see if it has opened. Even if it is closed, you may see the outside of the church, though that alone may not be worth the trip and boat ride (30 YTL if less than 12 people, 2.5 YTL if more than 12 people). Buses and taxis are available to drop you at the boat dock. (note: Turkish national newspapers reported that in Sept or Oct 2007, the restoration work of the church has been completed and the place is now open to visitors) Eat The city is famous for its breakfast halls (kahvalti salonu), in which for a not-so-high price, you are served a really filling breakfast including locally produced cheese (different types) and honey among many other stuff. The price usually includes an unlimited amount of tea. Look around. |
