"A study in Van that has been ongoing for the last three years has shown that the four islands of Lake Van, namely Akdamar, Çalpanak, Adır and Kuzu, have an abundance of botanical riches. The study, conducted by three scientists, revealed some 346 different types of herbs and plants on these islands, some of which are endemic."
" One of the four islands of Lake Van -- Akdamar -- has great tourism potential, partially due to a historic Armenian church located on it, known as Akdamar Kilisesi (Church of the Holy Cross)."
