Things to Know

Ağrı, situated in the eastern part of Turkey, is a gateway to a mystical world waiting to be explored. The city boasts a range of tourist attractions, many of which are closely linked to the east. For instance, Ağrı Mountain, which holds mythical significance and is believed to have housed humans during different periods, as well as Noah's Ark, which is said to be hidden there even today according to sacred texts.


Ağrı is also home to the world's second-largest meteor pit, offering visitors not only a stunning visual experience but also a chance to savor local flavors that will leave an indelible impression on their taste buds. Although the lands of Ağrı appear barren today, they have been a home to many civilizations, especially the Urartians, Persians, Seljuks, and Ottomans.


The city's association with the sacred texts centered around Ağrı Mountain, the highest point in Europe where Noah's Ark is believed to have landed, is a prime example of how history, culture, belief, and tolerance intersect across four different countries. A visit to Ağrı is highly recommended to experience all of this and more.
