Overview
In Samsat, Adıyaman, scheduled tours run from Baraj Park on the shore of the Atatürk Dam Lake on the municipality's 45-seat excursion boat. Held on summer weekends, the tours visit the lake's coves and Seagull Island, where gulls nest. As the boat passes over the site of old Samsat, ancient Samosata, which was flooded by the reservoir in 1998, local stories of the area are told. The park also offers motorboat hire and pedal boats.
