Nemrut Dagi
The extraordinary funerary complex at Nemrut Dagi is arguably Eastern Turkey’s best-known site; however, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Gobekli Tepe, the 12,000-year-old site which is re-writing the history books, Gaziantep’s magnificent Zeugma mosaics, Urartian castles, Armenian churches and the Syriac Orthodox Christian communities of the Tur Abdin together offer more than enough to keep even the most ardent culture vulture happy.
A fascinating region just waking up to its potential – get there before the crowds.
