Submit a Radar report →Floating dramatically as an isolated island in the middle of the Keban Dam Lake, Pertek Castle (Pertek Kalesi) is a breathtaking medieval stronghold that showcases layered masonry from the Urartian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman eras. Originally built on a high rocky cliff overlooking the Murat River, the fortress became surrounded by water following the construction of the dam in 1643 and the subsequent flooding of the valley. For heritage travelers exploring famous ancient places in Eastern Turkey, a ferry ride between Elazığ and Pertek offers a spectacular panoramic view of this floating monument, rewarding history enthusiasts with its defensive walls, inner citadel ruins, and rare blue-and-white stone tile craftsmanship.

For adventurous heritage travelers exploring famous ancient places in Eastern Turkey, a trek through Rabat Valley rewards explorers with majestic geological formations, pristine wild landscapes, and a profoundly mystical atmosphere far away from the usual tourist crowds.
