Turkey off the Beaten Path


Mt. Nemrut

Roughly two thousand years ago, to satisfy his ego, King Antiochos of Commagene had chosen the very top of Mount Nemrut as the site for his burial, far from the eyes like an eagle's nest. And his statue still stands among the statues of his equals, the gods. This historic monument is listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO. On our way to the summit of Mt. Nemrut, we'll visit the two other attractions, Karakuş and Arsemeia.
