It was a mesmerizing journey for 2 days exploring Nemrut Mt. and Gobeklitepe from Istanbul. From the moment we met our tour guide, we knew we were in for an incredible journey filled with historical wonders and breathtaking landscapes. Our knowledgeable guide, who was passionate about the region’s history, enriched the entire trip with fascinating insights and captivating stories. Their expertise allowed us to fully appreciate the significance of both Nemrut and Göbeklitepe, enhancing our overall understanding and enjoyment. Our first stop at Nemrut Mountain left us in awe. The colossal statues, dating back to the 1st century BC, were a testament to the grandeur of the ancient Kingdom of Commagene. As we climbed to the summit, the panoramic view was simply breathtaking. The second day took us to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Göbeklitepe, considered one of the oldest known human-made religious structures in the world. Exploring the archaeological site with its T-shaped pillars, believed to represent early monumental architecture, was like stepping back in time. The well-preserved ruins and ongoing excavations showcased the remarkable achievements of our ancestors. Throughout the tour, the accommodations provided were comfortable and conveniently located, allowing us to relax and recharge after each exhilarating day of exploration. One highlight of the tour was the opportunity to interact with the warm and hospitable locals, who shared their stories and traditions with genuine enthusiasm. Their warmth added an extra layer of authenticity and charm to our experience, making us feel truly welcomed and connected to the rich cultural heritage of the region. In summary, the 2-day Nemrut and Göbeklitepe tour from Istanbul was an absolute gem. From the awe-inspiring ancient wonders to the cultural immersion and the seamless organization of the trip, every aspect exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking an immersive journey through time, where history, natural beauty, and warm hospitality intertwine to create an unforgettable adventure.
