But don’t be put off: today the region is for the most part calm and easy to visit, and tourists who make it here are rewarded with a glimpse of a region quite removed from the commercialism of the resorts of western Turkey. In the southeast, you can explore an environment with a more traditional feel, a largely Kurdish flavour and historical riches as extensive and fascinating as anywhere else in the country.
