  • Mardin, Southeast Turkey. Exploring southeast Turkey with Mick and Trudie Scarsbrook (Mick Amca), Part 1 of a 5 part series
    It’s part of Turkey that both myself and Trudie have never explored before.
    This part of Turkey has interesting history going back to the migration of mankind and the development of early religions and the first known agriculture. Some of the first built christian churches and mosques are all in thisfacinati region.
    Please watch and enjoy our five part series to the amazing, Southeast Turkey.
    Links where we stayed in Mardin: Hotel Kayanova Hotel and Merdin Hotel
    We used Tripadvisor extensively, for most of our travel.
    Transport we used: (flights to Mardin - all via instanbul)
    Pegasus airlines dalaman to Istanbul
    Turkish airlines Istanbul to Mardin
    Skyscanner to check other airlines
    Car hire from Merdin Otomotiv 04822131599 or 05424224747 Özkan they also picked us up from the Airport in Mardin

      Zaten Mardin Kürtlerin çoğunlukta olduğu bir şehri ve Kürtçe/Türkçe şarkı kullanılması Gerekli.
      Arap kültürüne dair hiç birşey yok.
      Sadece biraz Arap Göçüne uğramış 2 dünya savaşında. Buranın gerçek halkı ve kültürü Kürt Halkı Ve Kültürüdür.

Means"" We have given the rights to keep the country and liberty, just beacuse we only worship and fight justice and liberty " I thought that was so impressive and important why they are like the way they are. One Australian General said after the war in Gallipoli " Turkey is for the Turks and Turks only, we say Good bye to this war" says it all.

    Hi Mick and Trudie,
    I've been following your channel and absolutely love the content on Southeastern Turkey that youve posted up. May I ask one question. Are ther buses or minibuses which ply intercity in southeastern turkey for example between Mardin and Midyat or Mardin and Adiyaman? How do we actually find information on this or perhaps even buy a ticket online?

    I traveled to Mardin and other cities in southeast Turkey with a well-known Turkish journalist who is known for defending the rights of the Kurdish minority in the area. She was recognized and welcomed by many of the local residents who are of Kurdish and Arabic descent. It took quite a long time to find our hotel because my friend had trouble understanding the local people's Turkish. We went in the beginning of July (very hot time of year) and there were very few tourists - foreign or domestic. The local Christian community are Syrian Christians. There are two Syrian Christian churches that we were able to visit after finding a resident who had keys to unlock these ancient and fascinating buildings.
