Van Castle - 9th Century BC, another example of Urartu ruins, was the last stop of a long day of sight seeing. It is situated at the edge of Van and seems to be a popular spot for locals on picnics as there is a large park at the foot of the castle. We didn't stop however, to snack or relax, it was a brisk hike up the "mountain" to catch the sunset over Van and the ancient Tushpa plains.
After sightseeing, we stopped before coming to the center of town for dinner at a place called Hanedan Sofrasi - a restaurant perched above a huge Migros. I write this here so that if I return to Van, I can revisit. Although not particularly special, the facility was clean and the Ayran Corbasi was GREAT!
