What our customers ask about Eastern Turkey Tours & Trips
What hidden gems should I check out in Eastern Turkey?
Beyond the famous spots like Mount Nemrut and Göbekli Tepe there's so much more to discover. Have you heard of Ani? It's this incredible medieval Armenian city near Kars that'll blow your mind. Or check out Harran's amazing beehive houses - they're actually mentioned in the Book of Genesis! If you're after natural beauty Lake Van is stunning - it's Turkey's biggest lake and you can take boat trips out to Akdamar Island with its beautiful Armenian church. Tours like "8 Days Eastern Turkey Private Tour From Istanbul" and "Eastern Borders of Türkiye" will take you to these lesser-known spots.
What local experiences can I be part of?
You'll love getting involved in Eastern Turkey's rich traditions! In Şanlıurfa you can experience a "Sıra Gecesi" which is this amazing evening of music poetry and shared meals. Over in Midyat you can watch skilled artisans working in traditional silver workshops practicing the ancient Telkari craft. The "Mystical Mesopotamia" tour actually includes both these experiences - you'll get to visit a silver workshop and join in a proper "Sıra Gecesi" in Şanlıurfa.
