Under the shadow of Mount Ağrı, the Rainbow Hills (Gökkuşağı Tepeleri) attract hikers, photographers and nature aficionados from across Turkey and the world.
Owing its vibrant landscape to its altitude and unique microclimate, the hill range has lately caught many eyes on social media.
Nature photographer Betül Öner was among those drawn to the region after catching a glimpse on social media.
Describing it as a "must-see" spot, Öner told Anadolu Agency that the region was beautiful in each season.
"Many people probably have no idea about this place. We took lovely photos on the magical hills with their red summits and vista," she said.
