Overview
The Secrets of the Kingdom of Commagene: According to legend, Mount Nemrut in Adıyaman is famous for its massive mosque and statues of gods built for King Antiochus I of Commagene. The king had these statues and mosques built to show his respect for the gods and his ancestors. Another interesting point is that the same group of statues is located in two different sets. One set represents the beginning of investment, while the other represents the end of time. Isn't that amazing! Şanlıurfa, known as the city of prophets, is home to Göbeklitepe, the first temple built by humans. With its diverse demographic structure and colorful formations, the city is the pearl of Mesopotamia. Explore this visit that will change your perspective on the world.

Day by day
Day 1: Departure from your current location to Adıyaman
4 star Otel in Kahta Adıyaman - Adiyaman After being picked up from your hotel, airport, or a local address: We begin your Nemrut Mountain tour and have lunch at a local restaurant along the way. Your tour starts with the Karakuş Tumulus, Severan Bridge, and Arsemia. Then we go to Nemrut Mountain to see the world-famous statues. There are East and West Terraces where you can enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. After visiting Nemrut, you can take some time to take photos in the surrounding valleys before returning to your hotel. You can find detailed information about the places below.
- Karakus Tumulusu Here, your guide will tell you all the details you need to know about the Karakuş Tumulus. The Karakuş Tumulus is a funerary monument built between 30-20 BC by King Mithridates II of Commagene for Queen Isias and Princesses Antiochis and Aka I, near the village of Çukurtaş in the Kahta district of Adıyaman province in present-day Turkey. Karakuş means "black bird." The monument takes its name from a column topped with an eagle. It is located 12 kilometers from the Kahta district of Türkiye. The tumulus is surrounded by three groups of Doric columns, each approximately 9 meters high. The tops of the columns feature stalactites, reliefs, and sculptures of bulls, lions, and eagles. An inscription indicates the existence of a royal tomb where three women lived.
- Cendere Bridge Here, our guide will give you detailed information about the Severn Bridge, and we will spend approximately 2 hours here. The Severn Bridge (Turkish: Cendere Bridge) is a late Roman bridge located 55 km from Adıyaman in Türkiye, near the ancient city of Arsameia (present-day Eskikale). It crosses the Cendere Stream (Çabinas Stream), a tributary of the Kahta Stream, on the 02-03 route from Kahta to Sincik in the Adıyaman province. This bridge was described and illustrated in 1883 by archaeologists Osman Hamdi Bey and Osman Efendi.
- Arsemia Antik Kenti Our guide will explain all the details you need to know about visiting Arsemia, where we will spend approximately one hour. Arsemia, once the summer residence of the Commagene kings, is located sixty kilometers from Adıyaman. At the foot of this ancient city lies a magnificent relief dating back to around 50 BC, depicting Heracles (or perhaps the Persian god Artagnes, whom the Greeks identified with Heracles) shaking hands with King Mithridates of Commagene, and next to it is the largest Greek inscription in Anatolia.
- Mount Nemrut Nemrut, or Nemrud, is a 2,134-meter-high mountain in southeastern Türkiye, notable for its numerous large statues erected around a structure believed to be a royal tomb dating from the 1st century BC. It is one of the highest peaks in the eastern Taurus Mountains. The mountain is located 40 km north of Kahta, near Adıyaman. In 62 BC, King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene had a mausoleum-temple built on the summit, surrounded by giant statues, 8-9 meters high, of himself, two lions, two eagles, and various Greek, Armenian, and Persian gods such as Heracles-Artagnes-Ares, Zeus-Oromasdes, and Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes. These statues were once in a seated position, and the name of each god was engraved on them. The heads of the statues were separated from their bodies at some point and are now scattered throughout the site. Your tour includes transfer to your hotel in Kahta and overnight stay.
