Hakkari is 210 km southeast of Van. It's area is around 9520 square km and the population is about 240.000. The city sits at an altitude of 1700 m, with high mountains dominating the land and wide valleys separate the great peaks with heights exceeding 4000 m. Mounts Cilo and Sat are two of the outstanding ones for mountaineering and winter sports. The snow accumulating on the upper parts of these mountains form beautiful glaciers.
The Zap Valley, through which the road to the city passes, offers fantastic scenery.
This land has witnessed the passing of tribes in Anatolia since earliest times. Many rock drawings have been discovered on Guveruk and Tirsin plateaus to the west of Hakkari. Ruins of several Christian churches and palaces can also be seen in the districts of the city. The medieval fortress reflects the history of this small region and is worth seeing, together with the Medresse standing nearby used until the beginning of 1900s. Kayme Palace is another important ruin today, built by Seyyid Abdullah.
