Kâhta is a town in Southeastern Anatolia, with a population of 132,000 in 2023. The reason to visit is Mount Nemrut, only accessible in summer.
Decent hotel at the town crossroads.
Clean and friendly.
Clean modern guesthouse 12 km from the summit. A small hotel with comfortable spacious triple rooms, some with big-windowed views over the nearby countryside, was built nearby in 2025
Adıyaman Airport (ADF) has daily flights from Istanbul (IST and SAW) and from Ankara. The low footfall means few facilities, but car rental firms can arrange to pick up / drop off here.
Read in the guideYou need your own vehicle to reach the summit of Mount Nemrut, otherwise join an organised tour. Your accommodation will be keen to sell you a tour and will tell fat fibs about why you can't make it solo.
