Description
Mardin is an old Mesopotamian city famous today for its cultural diversity and monumental buildings such as mansions, churches and mosques made of limestone. Join me in this Online Experience, and I will show you the best of this traditional Turkish town.
We will begin our tour at the Main Square to look at the former Catholic Syriac Patriarchate building complex and the tower of the Virgin Mary Church nearby. Then, taking the backstreets of the Old town, we will make our way to Art Street, one of the most popular places to photograph. Walking along, we will see the museum building complex and the workshops. I will lead you to the old girls' school building and show you some street passages unique to Mardin as we climb to the highest point of the old town, known as the Zinciriye Madrasa. Here, take in the beautiful views of the Mesopotamian plain stretching out beneath us before looking at some traditional shops in the adjoining bazaar. Finally, we will visit one of the most beautiful mansions in Mardin and end our tour under an iconic street passage.

For the last three years, I have been based in Mardin and take pride in guiding people around this lovely Mesopotamian city that is on the list to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
