Van: The Pearl of the East
Because of its beautiful surrounding landscape, Van was once known as the "Pearl of the East". Today we fly to Van, a city nestled along the southeastern shore of Turkey's largest lake and the one-time capital of the ancient Urartu Empire (contemporaries and oft rivals of the Hittites). Lake Van--six times bigger than Utah's Great Salt Lake--is a …
