Van

Van is like a miniature version of Turkey, Van Castle is like a twin of Mersin Mamure Castle, and the Menua (Shamran) Water Canal from the Urartu period is like an early version of the Ferhat Water Canal in Amasya. Moreover, Vanodoccian Fairy Chimneys can make you feel like you are in Cappadocia, and Akcali Travertines has a view that can able to envy Pamukkale's Cotton Travertines. If all those and the other historical bridges, mosques, and churches do not fascinate you, no doubt that Akdamar Island, the church, and its reflection on the turquoise waters of Van Lake will.
