do not expect, that you may enter the palace at regular times.

We actually had to wait some time for the guide, who was booked by the Rotel-company and he finally made the tour through the ruins just for us.

When going from Van to Akdamar be sure to agree on the price with a bus driver (dolmuþ). Usually they stop in the village a few km before the ferry dock and ask extra money for the remaing km.
