Mardin Nestled alongside Turkey’s south-eastern border with Syria, Mardin is Turkey’s answer Jerusalem, an ancient city featuring glowing limestone houses, spectacular vistas and a mosaic of people from Kurdish, Christian and Syrian settlements, all living in harmony together. Shuffling across the dusty cobbled streets of the Old City, you can’t help but feel like you’re wandering through an open air museum, never quite sure what astounding relic will be waiting round the corner. The remnants of the local Islamic school grounds, the Zinciriye Medresesi, are just one of the many delights for the eyes here. But then there’s the tastes! Such a melting pot of ethnicities means that Mardin has some seriously good food – particularly favourable for any sweet tooths. Be sure to try “cevizli sucuk” (walnuts dipped in grape molasses). Delicious! #info #EverythingsInfo
