Tatvan

Tatvan

Tatvan is a city at the western end of Lake Van, and is the regional center of the identically-named district within Bitlis Province in eastern Turkey. It has about 96,000 inhabitants.

Transport

Tatvan is connected by Train ferry across 96km of Lake Van to Van which avoids 250km of railway construction in mountainous terrain. This is a low capacity route which will be replaced by a proper railway when traffic increases.
