Exploring a Small Town in Turkey ???????? | Solo Travel Tatvan | Turkey Travel Vlog (Ep. 21)

In this Turkey Travel vlog, I traveled to a place called Tatvan. While staying for only 1 night in a place called Siirt, a local man told me that Tatvan was beautiful. So I decided to go.

He was right. Tatvan is a pretty cool place. There is a mountain off in the distance that was formed by a volcano...and it looks pretty cool. I tried to visit the mountain, but local busses were not available to this place. Instead, I walked around and met a few local people.

There is a cool park located at the center of the boardwalk near the lake. There are so many people that gather here at the end of each day. So many families come together and simply hang out. Pretty cool!

My intentions were to go swimming, but much of the lake was terribly disgusting near the shoreline. There was a small area that some kids were swimming. I wanted to join them, but I was a bit scared to leave both of my cameras and cell phone on the platform while I was in the water, so I decided to just watch them swim for a few moments instead.

I tried walking in a neighborhood, but was stopped by a local man. He said not to enter. I don't know why. I tried translating...but he wouldn't use complete sentences when speaking in to the translator, so the translation didn't mean anything. I don't know what he said.

I talked to a teenage girl for about 20 minutes or so. She stopped me to see if I needed any help. Apparently I looked confused when I was near the shopping mall.

After around 6 O'clock, I visited the local park again and was shocked to see so many people. It looked like the whole town was there all at the same time. Families were picnicking, kids were playing, people were shooting air rifles, people were having dinner, playing tennis, and much more. It was pretty cool to simply walk around and observe the locals.

On the next day, I went to have lunch at a local cafe. As I was sitting there alone and browsing social media, two small boys walked up to me and randomly sat at my table. I was quite surprised. I guess they just wanted to talk. I'm still not entirely sure. Anyway, we had an interesting conversation. Soon their lunch arrived at their parent's table...and they said goodbye.

Definitely an interesting couple of days in Tatvan, Turkey!
