Mardin, a jewel like a plain in Mesopotamia. A city center built of stones that Aladdin seems to come out alive. Mardin Castle, where jewels shine through the twinkling lights have a vitality to move.. It was great to come here.
Mardin is a great little town in the Kurdish part of Turkey. The castle itself is now a military base, so inaccessible, but you can get right up to the wall, where the view across the plains towards Syria is incredible. Worth the trip.
Known as a city of peace due to geographical and historical reasons
Exploring the "World Heritage" Stone City - Mardin Mardin is located in the southeast of Turkey, in the middle of the Tigris and Euphrates river basins, overlooking the famous Mesopotamia Plain. It is a historic ancient city of Mardin. The house can be said to be a symbol of the place, most of them retain ancient carvings and are all built of stone, so Mardin also has the nickname "Stone City", the city built on the top of the mountain, according to archaeological excavations confirmed that 4500 BC has been human life and has experienced several generations. The ancient dynasty of Turkey is also a iron-beating food country with China, France and known as the "three world food kingdoms" 1. Rice pudding for entry-level dessert stars Frn Sütlaç is a must-try dessert in Turkey to mix cooked rice grains in fragrant cattle The milk pudding makes the dessert taste delicate and rich. The taste is similar to cheese. 2. Don't miss the authentic Turkish black tea. 3. The main "rich" Turkish coffee.
Knowing it was a coincidence to see old pictures from several photography magazines, there was hardly any guide or introduction to it on the Internet. Contacted the local hotel, confirmed the local security issues, could not suppress the inner yearning, turned several trains, finally arrived at the old city on the Turkish border, Syria edge. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city and tourist areas, the night here is particularly quiet. From the balcony, you can see the stars and lights from the old house and the distant Syrian border. ~. 🏛 The city is full of especially kind old men and old ladies left behind children. Because young people have gone to big cities, they rarely see Asians, and they are all enthusiastic to take pictures of me. 🏛 The whole city is an old building, extremely beautiful, definitely the kind of beauty you can't see anywhere that has been baptized by time (one hundred times more beautiful than the camera and a hundred times shocked). ⚠️ But because there are few tourists at the international border, everyone still has to pay attention to safety. Go with you! Reduce travel at night! ps: It is very hot in summer, I recommend everyone to go in autumn or winter. 📷 Photograph: I recommend everyone to bring an aerial photography! This city's aerial photography is super amazing! 🚘 Transportation: The fastest way is to fly directly from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Mardin Airport (MQM), and then take a taxi to the old town. 📍 Address: ehidiye Mah. 39.
