Top Attractions in Van
💡 Best at sunset for the light on the water. Local tea sellers park carts nearby – a glass of çay costs 5 TL.
💡 Go at sunrise for fewer crowds and a good view of the citadel and Mount Suphan. The museum inside costs a few lira, but the fortress exterior is free.
💡 Check the back garden for stone carvings and Hittite-style reliefs. Combine with the castle visit. Closed Mondays.
💡 Wear sturdy shoes – the paths are rough and some walls are unstable. Bring insect repellent in summer. Go early for the best light.
💡 The ferry costs about 20 TL each way (2024). Go early morning to avoid midday heat and tourist groups. No food on the island – bring water and snacks.
