Overview of Tatvan from Nemrut-Dagi

Tatvan is a city at the western end of Lake Van, and is the regional center of the identically-named district within Bitlis Province in eastern Turkey. It has about 96,000 inhabitants.

[edit] Transport

Tatvan is connected by Train ferry across 96km of Lake Van to Van which avoids 250km of railway construction in mountainous terrain. This is a low capacity route which will be replaced by a proper railway when traffic increases.
