Mardin is a city in Southeastern Anatolia.
Hitching out
Northeast towards Midyat, Hasankeyf, Batman
The road heading northeast starts at a junction between the old city (Eski Mardin) and the Yenişehir suburb (literally “new city”, the newer suburb of the city lying on the plain), just at where the steep hill towards the old city starts/ends.
It’s no problem to attract a ride here, as in the rest of Southeastern Anatolia. Drivers seeing you walking towards the exit of the city stop by even when you’re not actually thumbing.
Sleeping
Otel Bilen at the main street of old city has open-air beds on the rooftop available for 15 TL/person a night.
