Bahar Dar
Bahar Dar is a small
town set on the south - eastern shore of lake Tana, where local
fishermen still use papyrus boats, and just 30 km from the
spectacular Tissisat Falls. Here the Blue Nile creates " Smoking
Water" an awe-inspiring sight as it plunges into the gorge below.
From Bahar Dar one
must explore some of the ancient monasteries that have been built
around Lake Tana, or on the many Islands. These include Dek
Stephanos with its priceless collections of icons, as well as the
remains of several medieval emperors, Kebran Gabriel and Ura Kidane
Mehret with its famous frescoes. The colorful local market at Bahir
Dar is renowned for its weavers and wood workers
