Mount Nemrut

Located in the backdrop of the Taurus Mountain range in southeastern Turkey near the city limits of Adiyaman, Mount Nemrut is one of the most amazing archaeological wonders of Turkey. The majestic summit of Mount Nemrut has been forgotten for centuries, and since its discovery has captured the attention of thousands of visitors who come annually to witness the pure magic of its landscape at dawn and dusk, when the mighty stone heads glow golden. Often referred to as the “Throne of the Gods,” this mountain houses a group of stone statues of colossal heads believed to have been part of idols of ancient gods, and the trip to it is undoubtedly the highlight of any trip to southeastern Anatolia.
