Lake Van
The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van, is positioned in the middle of eastern Anatolia which is surrounded by volcanoes along with history.
Formed from a volcanic eruption, this alkaline soda lake has stunning turquoise water but is too salty to sustain life.
Some of the legends include Akdamar Island's Armenian Church and Urartian Kingdom’s ruins.
Locals also describe a mysterious lake creature, adding some myth to its majesty.
Thus, Lake Van remains both a natural wonder and a cultural landmark of Türkiye’s east.
