Itinerary

Day 1

We will pick you up from the hotel in the morning and depart for Seljuk (Harmandoven) Caravanserai, one of the most beautiful works of 12th century Seljuk stone processing. It was taken under protection in 1986. However, it is still in ruins. Then continue to Ram Headed Tombs. The ram-headed graves found in all the old cemeteries in the Igdir plain are from the Karakoyunlular period, which left a permanent civilization trail in Igdir. These gravestones were erected in the graves of brave and heroic people and young people who died at a young age. This tradition came to Karakoyunlular from Central Asian Turkish Culture. After the graves we visit the Martyr Turks Monument and Museum. It symbolizes the Armenian attacks in the region between 1915-1920 and related documents are kept. Around 4,000 visitors visit the museum every month. 350 m² closed museum consists of 2 pools and 5 swords of 36 m height. It is built as a green area and a park. Turkey's highest monument.

After the tour, transfer back to your hotel. Overnight in Igdir.
