Top Attractions in Mardin
💡 Buy a bag of roasted chickpeas (leblebi) from the market near the Ulu Mosque for 5 TL. The coppersmiths on 2nd Sokak let you watch hammering for free; haggling is expected if you buy.
💡 It is usually empty on weekday mornings. Combine with a walk to the nearby Şehidiye Medrese (free, same courtyard complex). No audio guide, but each mosaic has an English label.
💡 Go at sunset, not midday — the stone glows honey-coloured and the heat is manageable. From Cumhuriyet Square, follow the lane behind the post office for the steepest but shortest route up.
💡 Climb to the roof before the caretaker locks the door at 5pm. There is no official closing time, but he often leaves early in winter. No ticket, but a tip for him (5–10 TL) is polite.
💡 Take a shared minibus from the otogar; they run every 30 minutes and cost 5 TL. Dress modestly (cover knees and shoulders). Photography inside the chapel is not allowed, but the courtyard is fair game.
