Mardin
A stone mansion with sleek, modern interiors.
Mardin, in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border, is a city of carved limestone houses, mosques, madrasas and Syriac churches, rising in terraces above the flat Mesopotamian plain. Its mix of Arab, Kurdish, Turkish and Syriac Christian cultures shows in its food, crafts and architecture.
The old town's restored stone mansions, or konaks, make atmospheric hotels, many with terraces facing the plain.
The Syriac monastery of Deyrulzafaran and the town of Midyat are worthwhile excursions. Summers are very hot; spring and autumn are best. Check current travel advice for the border region.
