My wife and I decided to travel to Turkey this April and fortunately came across Mr.Mevlut Uysal of Pomegranate tours. We did a one week trip in Turkey where we covered places like ancient cities of Ephesus and Hieropolis, calcium terraces of Pamukalle and the wondrous Fairy chimneys of Cappadocia starting from Istanbul. We requested Mr Mevlut to give us a good budget...

Ahtamara Church: The origin and meaning of the island's name is based on an old Armenian legend. According to the tale, an Armenian princess named Tamar lived on the island and was in love with a commoner. This boy would swim from the mainland to the island each night, guided by a light she lit for him. Her father learned of the boy's visits. One night, as she waited for her lover to arrive, he smashed her light, leaving the boy in the middle of the lake without a guide to indicate which direction to swim. His body washed ashore and, as the legend concludes, it appeared as if the words "Akh, Tamar" (Oh, Tamar) were frozen on his lips. The legend was the inspiration for a famous Armenian poem by Hovhannes Tumanyan. Contact Us Email List |
