Pretty island and wonderful Armenian church that is intact (for now)
Akdamar Island的点评
点评：We drove here from Van and it took about 30 minutes. The ferry across to the island was 400TL return and took about 30 minutes with maybe an hour on the island before the trip back.
The island is famous for the Armenian Cathedral of the Holy Cross, a largely intact church built on the island in the 10th century. The inside of the church has some wonderful frescoes and the original blues and reds are still visible although the majority of the painting has been erased by time or vandalism. The outside has fabulous bas reliefs which almost look Celtic and seem to show Persian and Turkish influences with some of the poses and animal carvings as well as a variety of biblical themes. There was a small cafe on the island but we didn't stop there and walked back through the old monastery ruins and graveyard.
The church was in use until 1915 when it was looted, the adjacent monastery destroyed and the monks massacred as part of the Armenian Genocide. The church was subject to further vandalism, being used for target practise and was even scheduled for demolition in 1951 as part of the government policy to erase Armenian heritage. The Armenian minority in the country is still unhappy with the Turkish name Akdamar rather than the Armenian name of Ahtamar being used for the island and church after the government's 2005 restoration of the church. The politics are very complex and go back a long time.

翻译：我们从凡岛开车过来，大约需要30分钟。渡轮往返大约需要30分钟，费用为400土耳其里拉，其中在岛上待了一个小时左右，之后再返回。
该岛以亚美尼亚圣十字大教堂而闻名，这座教堂建于10世纪，基本完好无损。教堂内部有一些精美的壁画，原来的蓝色和红色仍然清晰可见，尽管大部分画作已被时间或人为破坏所抹去。教堂外部有一些精美的浅浮雕，看起来几乎是凯尔特风格的，但似乎受到了波斯和土耳其的影响，一些人物姿势和动物雕刻以及各种圣经主题的描绘。岛上有一家小咖啡馆，但我们没有在那里停留，而是穿过古老的修道院遗址和墓地往回走。
这座教堂一直使用到1915年，之后遭到洗劫，毗邻的修道院被毁，僧侣们在亚美尼亚大屠杀中惨遭屠杀。教堂进一步遭到破坏，被用作射击练习，甚至在1951年被列入拆除名单，这是政府抹去亚美尼亚遗产政策的一部分。在政府于2005年修复教堂后，该国的亚美尼亚少数民族仍然对岛屿和教堂使用土耳其语名称“阿克达玛”（Akdamar）而非亚美尼亚语名称“阿赫塔玛”（Ahtamar）感到不满。这其中的政治因素错综复杂，由来已久。
