This historical waterway, including Nevali Çörü, has enabled the excavation of many ancient settlements. When the dam began to hold water in 1999, dozens of villages and houses, including Savaşan Village, were submerged. Today, the Savaşan Village Mosque, with half of its minaret still underwater and the mosque itself completely submerged, still beckons to you.

Its age makes it a critical discovery in understanding the origins of religious and ceremonial practices in human history. Today, Göbekli Tepe is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its discovery continues to inspire both scientific inquiry and public fascination with the ancient past.

Κριτικές ταξιδιωτών
Disappointing communication with Tripster. I contacted the WhatsApp number provided by the company to clarify a few details before booking their 8-day Eastern Anatolia & Mesopotamia tour. Instead of simply answering the questions, they seemed irritated that I was asking them separately and made the communication unnecessarily difficult. Since I was considering spending a significant amount on this tour, this experience made me decide not to book.
Shahin was an excellent guide!!! Congratulations!!!
Very interesting and informative. Mainly targeted at people who like history. Although we enjoyed it anyway the weather was quite hot. Perhaps had we joined a couple if weeks earlier it would have been better. However, it was still a marvellous holiday
Turkey was on my bucket list way back in the 80's and I finally got around to going in 2026. Even though these are 'roads less travelled,' it was safe and thoroughly enjoyable, without the usual 'tourist traps' with commissions or price hikes. It is advisable to book internal flights while you are in Turkey as it is cheaper. The payment for my excursions were securely sent to Tripster and the 8 day tour with them was an opportunity of a lifetime. I awakened daily to the majestic wonders of archeological significance of the Eastern Anatolia and Mesopotamia regions, including the warmth and hospitality of the local people. I was able to weave these magical experiences into appreciating the diversity of a rich and beautiful world. The exceptional scenery and weather (springtime, April) were an additional bonus. Shanin, my guide, was patient, kind, informative, and an absolute asset for this remarkable journey through history. Pack lightly and go now!
My husband and I joined this tour for Valentine’s Day, and honestly, it was one of the best travel decisions we’ve made. Everything was very well organized, and we didn’t have to worry about a single detail. The itinerary is quite full, but in a good way — we saw so many incredible places, from Cappadocia to Mount Nemrut and Göbeklitepe. Each stop had its own atmosphere and story, and it never felt rushed. A very special thank you to our guide, Marina. She was absolutely wonderful — friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly and made the history come alive. You can tell she really loves what she does, and that makes a big difference. The hotels were comfortable, transportation was smooth, and overall everything felt professional but still personal. It was such a special way to celebrate Valentine’s Day — beautiful landscapes, fascinating history, and great company. Would definitely recommend this tour!
It was a wonderful experience; we thoroughly explored and experienced southeastern and eastern Anatolia in terms of culture, history, and gastronomy. Thanks, Tripster.
We had wonderful experiences over 9 days. The organization, attention, and the guide's knowledge and professionalism were truly outstanding. Throughout the tour, we felt safe, comfortable, and valued. The team's friendly and helpful nature made our trip very enjoyable. We were extremely satisfied with everything. I would like to thank the entire team for creating unforgettable moments for us and I want to state that I will be with you again on my future travels. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.
It was an unforgettable holiday; we saw amazing places. Our guide was a true professional, and the agency team was fantastic. I felt like I was part of family. They were helpful and supportive in every way. All our travel companions were wonderful, thank you to everyone. I would definitely like to do all my tours with you from now on. I recommend it to everyone. Note: Please don't say "I have children, I'm old, my knees are bad," Mr. Resul, Mr. Recep will absolutely support you like your son, brother, or friend; there's nothing like it, they are incredible, I'm so glad I met you.
