Mardin Old Town
Konağa 65 km
Terraced above the Mesopotamian plain, Mardin's old town is an open-air museum: the Deyrulzafaran Monastery, the Great Mosque, the Kasımiye Madrasa and the vaulted passages known as abbara.
Allow yourself to get lost in the narrow lanes — the best views appear around unplanned corners. It makes the most rewarding day trip from the mansion.
