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.
Ishak Pasa Apart from the view from the town towards mount Ararat, there's a far more spectacular view from the Ishak Pasa upon the plains and mont Ararat possible. This palace-fort is just five km out of town westwards which makes it a perfect opportunity for just taking a nice walk. There's an easy road leading up towards the castle and in doubt you can always ask any local around.
Meteor crater and hot springs You can also ask around for possible excursions towards the Meteor crater and the Diyadin hot springs other supposably resting places of Noah's Ark.
