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
