Tour Overview

Igdır has four districts, one of which is the center. It is located on the Erzurum-Kars part of the Eastern Anatolia of Turkey. The city center consists of 3 towns and 49 villages. Its economy depends on agriculture. A great variety of products is cultivated in Igdır Lowland. The Lowland is considered as another Cukurova in North Anatolia. Vegetable gardening has been improved. Primary agricultural products are wheat, barley, sugar beet, apple, melon, watermelon, corn, apricot, and pear.

Itinerary

We will pick you up from the hotel in the morning and depart for Seljuk (Harmandoven) Caravanserai, one of the most beautiful works of 12th century Seljuk stone processing. It was taken under protection in 1986. However, it is still in ruins. Then Continue to Ram Headed Tombs. The ram-headed graves found in all the old cemeteries in the Igdir plain are from the Karakoyunlular period, which left a permanent civilization trail in Igdir. These gravestones were erected in the graves of brave and heroic people and young people who died at a young age. This tradition came to Karakoyunlular from Central Asian Turkish Culture. After the Graves, Martyr Turks Monument and Museum. It symbolizes the Armenian attacks in the region between 1915-1920 and related documents are kept.
