★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Try to avoid coming here in the middle of the summer if it is possible, but otherwise this island is a great experience. There are walking trails to take in the beauty of the island and lake Van, and the jewel is the 1000 year old Armenian church. There is also a gift shop and tea house on the island, perfect for resting.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is another breathtaking place. If it is winter with lots of snow and below -20 kind of arctic cold then make sure there is a boat waiting for you otherwise you have to wait until they have enough passenger to justify the ride in that weather (no blame ). But it is worth every minute of your struggle so no matter the roadblocks, do whatever you can and go there. Locals say spring time is another story to visit the place with all the surrounding almond trees in bloom so i guess we will have to come back and gladly so ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best of all places I visit from Diyarbakır to Van city, I'm in love with this Island and this church, especially in this winter time, when it's empty and no one is there, we was so comfortable enjoying the moment my wife and I, but I would like to come back there again in spring time, I would try to swim there, and chill, see relax, there is also a cafe there, and small store if you want to buy some memories, also I enjoy watching rabbits ? there out. I can't explain more you have to visit for sure ❤️ I recommended

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The church was built around 10th century and famous for its unique carvings of historical figures and events narrated in Bible. Each side of the church consists carvings of the authors of the four Gospel, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
You can visit the church by ferry from Gevas which is around 40 km to Van city center. The round ticket is 25 TL.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is so a beautiful church on the Akdamar island. I was amazed by the outside of the walls.??You can see the church inside as free. Not a big church but the frescoes on the wall in the main service room is so beautiful. On the Outside of the wall, there are different Bible stories a relief carving which is amazed me!
