Mardin is a historical city. It is famous for its stone houses and has very beautiful streets. The people are very tolerant. Mardin is a very nice place, in my opinion. I stayed there for more than three months and love it.

It’s my hometown actually so I stay at my grandma’s house. I don’t really remember a restaurant name 😬 but I can say that Mardin foods are delicious and if you go around there ( Mardin, Urfa, Antep, Diyarbakır, Hatay, Adana vs ) eat these ( İçli köfte, kaburga dolması, kebap,şekerli pide, ciğer, baklava katmer künefe vs )

Even though Mardin is my hometown, I didn't live in this city until I was 18. As someone who has visited almost every city in Turkey, I can say that Mardin is safe. I can say that I feel safe outside alone in the evening, at least until 12am.
