Itinerary
We will contact you and meet you at the designated location with your guide and driver. Located in the Kahta district of Adıyaman, on the road to Mount Nemrut, the Karakuş Tumulus is a monumental tomb built by King Mithridates II of Commagene for his mother Isias, his sisters, and his nephew between 30-20 BC. This approximately 20-meter-high mound is called "Karakuş" (Black Bird) because of the eagle statue on the column to its south, which is considered to be the messenger of Zeus.
The Cendere Bridge (Severan Bridge), built at the end of the 2nd century AD by the XVI Legion on behalf of Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, is one of the oldest surviving Roman bridges, constructed without mortar using 92 massive blocks of stone, and measuring 120 meters in length and 7 meters in width.
After visiting the ancient city of Arsemia, we set off towards the summit.
We will climb the stairs for about 35 minutes to reach the summit. After reaching the summit, we will discover the unique and captivating beauty of Mount Nemrut.
