Mardin, the city of stunning streets and breathtaking beauty! This week we take you on a journey up Mount Nemrut and around the streets of Mardin!

We LOVED making this episode, the contrast of the two places and the joy we had in walking around the backstreets and finding hidden gems around every corner is a first for our Turkey trip!

Mount Nemrut is a tomb for a 1st Century king who decided to place his tomb on the highest mountain in the area and surround himself with 9m tall statues of gods, eagles and lions - sounds like he has a bit of an ego to us!!!

The site is so high up that snow still lies on the ground and the wind has a strong bite to it! Even with this we still fell in love with this magical place and the sunset wasn't half bad either!!

Mardin has been a place on our bucket list ever since we first thought about coming to Turkey! The views, the streets, the food and the coffee were all out of this world and we are so happy we got to explore and bring you along on this beautiful experience. We hope you agree that it is something totally unique and well worth the 5,000 mile trip!
