Nemrut Dagi (17-7-2005)
First I wanted to go to Kahta and take from there a tour but after some research it appears that the tour has the same price as in Malakya and you can only see sunset. So it is not cheaper the only extra you will see from Katha is a roman bridge.
From Malakya we went in two minivans to the top of Nemrut Dagi, one bus full of korean and in the other bus some Dutch, Israeli etc people. In the bus I also met with Kai en Judith I met this couple in Göreme when I was staying in Kookabura hostel. They will travel with me for the next few days.
After 4 hours on narrow dirt roads we arrived at our hotel near the top of the Nemrut Dagi. The price of the hotel, breakfast and dinner is included in the tour. But the fee entrance to Nemrut is not but is only 2,5 new lira. After a few hours of relaxing we drove the last 1000 meter to the top (30 minutes). Walking was also possible but this would take at least an nour or so.
On the highest peak in the region, King Antiochus ordered the construction of 75 m pyrameter of rubble (for his tomb?), flanked by massive statues, their heads long since decapitated by earthquakes and time. King Antiochus thought he himselve as one with the gods. On the top you see massive heads of Apollo-Mithras, Zeus-Oromasdes, Antochıus, Herades-Aragnes a lion and a eagle.
After sunset we drove back to our hotel and we had dinner some went to bed other played back gammon, cards and drınk tea. Most went early to bed because the next day we got up very early to see sunrise. Whıch was an amazıng thing to see. It was very cold and windy but great.
We went back to the hotel for breakfast and they drove us back to Malakya.
Kai, Judith and I took a minibus to Sanliurfa (also called Urfa )
