    Have you heard of Mardin, Turkey?! A popular travel destination for Turkish travelers, this area of Turkey is far less visited by Western tourists and was one of our FAVORITE places that we visited during our 4 week road trip in Turkey! Mardin is a picturesque mountain town near the border of Syria with beautiful architecture, fascinating history, amazing food and very friendly people! We highly recommend adding this lesser visited area of Turkey to your travel bucket list!!
    Join us in this area of southeastern Turkey as we wander the picturesque streets of Mardin and take a couple of day trips in surrounding areas to Midyat, the historical ancient city of Dara AND Göbekli Tepe, one of the most important archeological sites in the world!

    Mardin is the city where I was born and raised, and it truly is a wonderful place with an extraordinary atmosphere. If you have guests coming from abroad, I can show them around, or if I'm not available, my sister can assist them. I want to introduce this city to the world. For more information, you can contact me.

    Hooray! You found Gobekkli Tepe! The enigma in a mystery! Pre-pottery, stone tools, hunter/gathering nomads decided to change their world there...... And then bury their work on purpose.
    You are very close to Noah and the tower of Babel.

    The history of Eastern Turkey belongs to Armenia (Armenian Highlands/Armeniam Kimgdom). Turkey was created in1453 AD, and celebrated his 659th Anniversary in MY 2022. How much these history ignorant people receive to falsift Turkish history. Western Turkey was Byzantium (Greek)/Eastern Roman Empire. istanbul was called Constintanopile, city of Constantin. About 3,800 historic sites sre Armenian, 3,400 Greek, 600 Jewish and Assyrisn and only 700 Turkish. Haja Sophia was the biggest Greek Orthodox Church. How can thes peopl spread lies and falsify Turkish history. There is no country called Turkey on any world historic maps. They were Turkish sleaking Sekike tribes from the East and .ongols from the Far east.
