Not only Mount Ararat

28 Aug

Eastern Turkey is known primarily from the highest mountain in the country – Mount Ararat. But Ararat isn’t everything, because there are many beautiful places in eastern Turkey, both monuments and landscapes.  Natural sites include two volcanoes located on Turkey’s largest lake – Lake Van. One of them is Nemrut Dagi – a height of 3050 meters amsl. It is located on the west side of the lake, while the second – Suphan Dagi is located on the north side of the lake. It is 4058 meters high, what is making it the second volcano and third summit of Turkey. These places you could see on our tour Nemrut and Suphan and Ararat.
