Lake Van Ferry

Slow rail-and-passenger ferry across Lake Van between Tatvan and Van.

The Lake Van ferry links Tatvan with Van across about 90 km of open water. It is partly practical transport and partly a strange eastern Anatolian experience: railway wagons, passengers, gulls, mountains, and hours of lake horizon.

Do not expect a polished cruise. Times can be irregular and the crossing is long, but that slowness is exactly why it stays in the memory.
