Diyarbakir Hotels - Reviews and Rates

The leaving of Şanliurfa included that we had to search first a garage on a still public holiday. We were lucky and we found somebody who was able and willing to weld Werners exhaust pipe that was having a crack around.

We left then through the plains between Mardın and Şanliurfa that are irrigated with the water from the A...

In the Kurdish part of Turkey, there is a city called Batman, and the city has sued United Studio for the copy right of its name, but lost.

No matter w...
