Last time I spent some time in the eastern regions and stopped to check out Mt. Nemrut while staying in Malatya (where most Turkish fresh Apricots are grown..so go in the late spring if you can) There is a man named Mr. Kemal who is the town tourist ambassador. He runs the tour to Mt. Nemrut seen on this page http://touristimformationmalatya.blogcu.com/ The site needs some redesign but it's full of information. You can see what Mr. Kemal looks like about half way down. He's easy to find...he spends his time in the garden drinking tea near the tourist office. What a character..very chatty. The hotel were the tour stays overnight is a short drive from the top of the mountain where the statues are. The food wasn't great so I would pack some snacks just in case...I'm vegetarian :/ Wear warm clothing..it's cold up there but it's an amazing site. More places to add to this list is a trip to Lake Van which can be reached by bus from Malatya. Eastern Turkey is a wonderful area to visit if you want a little adventure :) Cheers !

Turkey is one of my favourite countries. The historical sites are impressive, the nature is stunning and the people are some of the friendliest, most hospitable I know. Let me know if you need more tips. I've covered a large part of the country, including the unforgettable route from Erzurum in the northeast, along the borders with Armenia, Iran, Iraq and Syria down to Adana in the southeast. Cheers, Keith Thanks D&D & Anil for your comments.
