From Igdir
Embark on an enriching daily excursion exploring the historical treasures of Turkey's easternmost province. This comprehensive Igdir day tour takes you through centuries of Anatolian civilization, showcasing unique architectural landmarks and poignant memorials in a region bordered by three countries.
Your journey begins with a convenient morning departure from your hotel in a comfortable, fully air-conditioned coach. Accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide, you will delve into the storied past of the Igdir plain, a fertile agricultural basin often compared to Cukurova in North Anatolia due to its rich soil and diverse crop production.
The first leg of this daily tour brings you to the Harmandoven Caravanserai, an architectural marvel displaying exquisite 12th-century Seljuk stone carving techniques. Although now in ruins, this ancient structure has been under official protection since 1986 and serves as a testament to the region's historical significance along ancient trade routes.
Continuing the excursion, you will discover the distinctive Ram Headed Tombs scattered across local cemeteries. Dating back to the Karakoyunlular era, these unique monuments were erected to honor courageous youths and brave individuals, carrying forward deep-rooted traditions from Central Asian Turkish culture.
Conclude your sightseeing at the imposing Martyr Turks Monument and Museum. Standing as the highest monument in the nation, this expansive 350-square-meter indoor and outdoor park complex features twin pools and five magnificent 36-meter swords commemorating regional events from 1915 to 1920. After a fully guided exploration filled with cultural insights, enjoy a relaxing transfer back to your hotel.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
