We cilmbed Mount Nemrut last April, while the snow was still blocking the road to the top and the wind was blowing so hard you could barely stand, but when we finally reached for the top... well it was wonderful. Breath-taking. The view of the giant status, half-covered with the snow. The silence, only broken by the wind. One of... More

For centuries, the heads of the heads of state sat on their own shoulders and bodies above this royal burial mound - this huge pile of rocks and stones on the summit of Nemrut Dağı (Mount Nemrut 2,134 m - 7,001 ft). Earthquakes shook the heads off the shoulders. Now, along with their lion and eagle guardians, the two-meter-tall heads... More

Mount Nemrut, is one of the many places and probabaly one of the most striking places in Southeastern Turkey to be visited .

Most unusual historical sight; a must see sight for anyone visiting Turkey. Worth the time and the effort. Get there for the sunrise, but make sure you dress for the cold chilling winds even in July and August. Terrific site, but should be protected better by the authorities.

My overall rating of "average" is in fact an average of the opinion of my traveling companion and I. He would give "not worth it"; I "incredible". This was our fifth visit to Turkey with more than 5 months spent in the country. Mount Nemrut is in a remote and difficult-to-access area! While the roads at and around the sight... More

I did a 2 night / 3 day tour Mt. Nemrut Tour through Nese Tours which started in Goreme. I went with a tour - vs. self-guided - because it would have taken twice as long to see all the sights on my own using public transportation, albeit much cheaper. I took the last tour of the season (mid-October). Likes:... More

Getting there is not easy and is a journey. However, once you are there, it is rewarding. So there are actually two things to see while you are there: The sunrise and the statue remains. You MUST go there for the sunrise and you MUST bring a blanket or jacket to keep warm bc the winds up there are really... More

Somewhat off the beaten track in Southeastern Turkey is Mount Nemrut. The ride from Gaziantep took about 6 hours by bus....on the way we stopped to see an old Roman Bridge and then steadily climbed the mountains for outstanding views. When we finally reached our parking spot, the climb began. There is a small eating area here perfect for a... More
