 Connection: not letters but places:

Mount Ararat: to climb this mountain you have to start out from Doğubeyazit, which is also the town nearest İshak Paşa Sarayı.

It is snow-covered all year round, is very beautiful, and is where the Bible said Noah´s Ark landed, so it is the site of the world´s first rainbow.

I will leave the clevers to add a picture of this beautiful mountain

Mount Nemrut lies in Adıyaman Province, nearby its Kahta county.

This Stone Heads are on display in a National Park in Mount Nemrut. This National Park hosts an antique city remain from Kommagene Kingdom.

Quoting MarioninTurkey

 

 

 Canım sorry I read the (a), (b) and (c) as either (a) or (b) or (c):

 

I will think of a Turkish landmark and give it´s location.  Users must think of another landmark and quote it´s location.  There must be some form of connection with the previous landmark eg.

a) neighbouring area/province

b) as in Turkishcobra´s game, the name of the next landmark must begin with the first or last letter of the previous one  (landmark name or location name may be used).

c) any informative fact that links the two consecutive landmark

 

In my defence, The first example was Kız Kulesi and Kapadokya. I didnt think Istanbul neighbours Nevşehir (rule a), and there is no link given (rule c), only rule (b) applied. So I though it was OK to just pick one of the three points.

 

I promise to never, ever, be naughty in this game again!

 

You are right Marion .  I gave the a), b),  c) as options and I just happened to choose one and everyone followed suit lol.

 

It doesn´t matter anyway, I´m enjoying the views and noting the locations for future reference.
