Batman River - Turkey

チグリス川支流のバトマン川。
きれいなエメラルドグリーン。泳いでいる人もいます。気温は40度以上あるけど、水は結構冷たくて気持ちが良さそう。

Wonderful. I only passed through Batman travelling from Hasankeyf to Van and after seeing this picture I wish I'd stayed for a day or two. Still, something to do next time.

I just stopped at this place for taking photos, too. I'm not sure this place is nice to stay or not, though surely nice place to swim.

The Lonely Planet Guide said Batman was not particularly interesting, but then, the same guide says that there is a rail line from Istanbul to Van!!!

No there isn't, there has never been a railway line from Istanbul to Van. There is a line from Van into Iran. Just goes to show how ell Lonely Planet has done its research in Eastern Turkey.

I found so much information wrong in it especially when it came to hotels. Speaking to hotel owners they told me they hadn't seen a Lonely Planet representative for many years, well over ten. There was one due, so one owner told me, he'd had a phone call from them saying they were coming and were going to check up on the hotel. Totally the wrong way to go about it, they should not let them know so that they can see it as it is normally not prepared for them with special service.

Rough Guides uses feedback from travellers which is how it should be.
