Earlier in the day, we invite you to explore Old Mardin, a breathtaking hillside city known for its golden stone buildings, winding alleyways, and panoramic views over the Mesopotamian plains. Rich in history and culture, Old Mardin is home to centuries-old mosques, churches, monasteries, and traditional bazaars. We will be arranging buses to take guests into Old Mardin and back, making it easy to wander the charming streets, enjoy local cafés, shop for handmade crafts, and soak in the timeless beauty of the city before gathering together later in the evening for our henna night celebration.

We will be arranging a few vans and small buses to take our guests on a day trip to Midyat, a charming historic town known for its honey-colored stone architecture, ancient monasteries, and rich cultural heritage. In Midyat, you will have time to stroll through the old town, explore traditional stone houses and narrow streets, visit local shops featuring handmade silver (telkari) jewelry, and take in views that reflect centuries of history. The town is also home to notable monasteries and churches that highlight the region’s diverse cultural roots. Please note that this trip is completely optional. We completely understand if you would prefer to explore other cities in Turkey at your own pace. We wanted to offer this experience as an easy and memorable way to discover the beauty and history of the Mardin region together.
