ITINERARY

Day 3 – Ziyaret Village & Munzur Springs
This region is culturally conservative and home to strong Alevi and Kurdish traditions, so modest dress, respectful behavior at religious or sacred sites, and asking permission before photographing people are important: You should plan to cover shoulders and knees (and, in some religious settings, more) and avoid overly revealing or flashy clothes, especially in villages and during visits to cem houses or shrines.
