In Yandere village, 14km from the summit on the road from Malatya, Güneş Motel Karapinar is set by a tumbling mountain stream with ample airy sitting areas and half a dozen small, brightly painted rooms that are decently maintained if rather frayed and tired. It offers a combined accommodation, half board and Nemrut summit tour for €65.
