Van opens onto a large lake landscape surrounded by reliefs and the history of the kingdom of Urartu. The fortress and museum interact with the carved reliefs of the church of Akdamar. Hoşap and Muradiye Falls extend the discovery to the east and north, without reducing the entire area to the urban shore alone.

Van and its lake
Van opens onto a large lake landscape surrounded by reliefs and the history of the kingdom of Urartu. The fortress and museum interact with the carved reliefs of the church of Akdamar. Hoşap and Muradiye Falls extend the discovery to the east and north, without reducing the entire area to the urban shore alone.
To understand what Van and his lake are, you must look at the side of Fortress of Van, Akdamar Island and St. Croix d'Akdamar Church. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage, shores and lakes and island landscapes and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 3 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: increased vigilance and limiting the area to the places held, without extending to Hakkari or the Iraqi border. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.
