Summary
Duration:
4 days
Mt Nemrut Eastern Explorer is one of the most splendid Eastern Turkey tours. It is protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The Mount Nemrut Eastern Explorer Tour starts from Cappadocia on to an interesting drive, passing by Tekir plateau, Karatay Caravansaray and the city of Kahraman Maras (produces Turkey’s best unique ice cream!) before arriving in the town of Kahta.
Arrival at Mt. Nemrut will be before dawn, ascending to the mountain for 15 minutes to watch the breathtaking magical sunrise over the plateau, and visit the massive ancient rock statues. We will then return to tour the ancient town of Kahta. From then we head South to Harran for a tour of this fascinating 400 year old town, including a visit to the mudbrick beehive houses.
Nemrut Dağ or Mount Nemrut, was built in the Hellenistic period when kingdoms were formed in Eastern provinces, after Alexander the Great’s empire was collapsing. This striking location was the house and tomb of the gods, built by the Hellenistic King Antiochos I of Commagene (69-34 B.C.) as a monument to himself. The Hierotheseion of Antiochos I is one of the most ambitious creations of that period.
