What to see
Timed to the light
Mount Nemrut, an hour and a half north, carries the tomb sanctuary of a Commagene king with colossal stone heads of gods scattered across two terraces at over two thousand metres, and is a World Heritage site best seen at sunrise or sunset. The Arsameia ruins and the Roman Cendere bridge are on the same route, and the region was affected by the major earthquake that struck southeastern Turkey.
