Dogubayazidi

Overview

Dogubeyazit, or jocularly referred to as "Doggy biscuit" is a small but pleasant town on the road to Iran. Situated in the far East of Turkey at the side of sweeping grass plains that run all the way up to Mount Ararat (supposed restingplace of Noah's Ark) you will enjoy the small size of the town, the unexpected friendlyness and be able to talk to Iranians spending their holiday abroad. Be sure to visit the Ishak Pasha Palace!

On the main road there is a small travel agency where you can book a nice evening -programm with local music in a authentic atmosphere below the ishak pasha palace. There is also the possibility to book half- or full day tips to Noahs ark, the slopes of the ararat mountain, visting small villages and the meteore inside the no-mans-land between the NATO-country Turkey and Iran.
