South Eastern Anatolia Guide

The Southeastern Anatolia Region is located in the middle of Anatolia and Mesopotamia, two of the most important places in terms of human history. With the scorching effect of Samyeli winds, it greets us with its warm people with its beautiful places to visit with the deepest traces of human history. As the name suggests, the region located in the south-east of our country has a continental climate. It is known as the region where summer heat is felt the most in our country. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which are the most important rivers of our country, pass through this region after taking their source from the Eastern Anatolia Region, and these hot arid lands are so fertile that they are conducive to the growth of many products. Since these lands are the oldest settlements in history, they show deep traces of history. We invite you to a region that contains Lake Balıklı, Mount Nemrut and the historical traces around it, and many other civilizations. Since the region is a border region, commercial activities are intensively carried out here. Gaziantep, which is a complete industrial city, Şanlıurfa, which is a complete agricultural and tourism city, and cities such as Adıyaman and Mardin in terms of cultural values, are an important part of Upper Mesopotamia in this region. If you have not visited the South Eastern Anatolia Region until today, we recommend that it should be in the first place in your travel plan and we recommend you to see the region in depth. Especially as we get to know the cuisine and the tourist-friendly and friendly people closely, we anticipate that we will leave Southeastern Anatolia with good memories.
