Beautiful place, incredible sculptures of scenes with people, animals... on all sides of the church, like a comic book

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
Great food and fast service. The beef kabobs were delicious. There was a variety of meats and veggies plates.
It’s an ancient and local church built on a small island near Van of Turkey. Visiting all the place takes around 10 to 30 minutes depending on you. Visiting this island takes around 2 to 3 hrs. It’s a good place for swimming and it has very clear water. Except the main hall there are a couple of chambers built with stone and small window and they are really dark and creepy. There is a story about this place which you can read in wikipedia (akdamar island). If you have 3 days in Van, it’s highly recommended to visit here.
With a 15 minutes boat trip you arrived to a peaceful I land where you can see the most old Armenian church in the area, this old architectural tells you a stores of salvation by Jesus Christ by sculpture and engraving over all the 4 facades.
Charming environment. Well preserved. Beautiful landscape.
Spectacular, if small,. Armenian Church, on an island in Lake Van. Several of the frescos are quite well preserved.
