Mardin became the route of cultural tours for the holiday

The intensity experienced in Mardin, which attracts visitors with its natural beauties and gastronomy, as well as historical monuments, made tourism professionals happy. Historical streets and avenues, Mardin Museum, Kasımiye Madrasa, Deyrulzafaran Monastery, and Dara Ancient City, one of the important cities of ancient Mesopotamia, are among the most visited centers in Mardin. Özgür Gürgör, President of the Mardin Tourism and Hoteliers Association (MARTOD), told Anadolu Agency that there are approximately 17 thousand beds in newly opened hotels, mansions and guesthouses in Mardin. Stating that Mardin is a very special city, there is a high demand during the Eid-al-Adha holiday, Gürgör said: "We have received reservations of up to 90 percent so far. We think that the holiday will pass at 100 percent capacity. We ask our guests who want to come to Mardin to make a reservation early. Because our occupancy rates are increasing day by day. We are happy about that, of course. Mardin is a mystical city that smells of history. "It is a city that bears the fruits of both cultural and religious tourism. According to the surveys, 7 out of 10 people prefer to see Mardin." Stating that as Mardin tourism professionals, they do not complete all the preparations and want to host the guests in the best possible way, Gürgör said, "In recent years, Mardin has been spending 100 percent occupancy rates, especially on holidays and special days. Serious demands have started to come in the foreign market as well." "It was a good advantage that the Eid holiday was 9 days" Mustafa Altun, General Manager of Gülizar Group Grand Mardin Hotel, said that they provide service with 54 rooms in the historical city, and that the occupancy rates during the Eid al-Adha holiday were above their expectations. Emphasizing that the star of the historical city, which hosts different cultures, shines brighter every year, Altun said, "The 9-day holiday was a good advantage. It was good for our guests to travel comfortably and for the tourism sector. Currently, our occupancy rates have exceeded 80 percent."

Visitors flock to Harput, the cradle of civilizations

Visitors started to come to Harput, the gateway to Elazığ's tourism, which is 4,000 years old. Citizens who took advantage of the hot weather in Elazığ flocked to the historical Harput District, the cradle of civilizations, which is the center of tourism in the city. Located 6 kilometers from the city center, the historical Harput District, known as the cradle of civilizations, has an important historical and religious value, and was flooded with visitors at the weekend. Visitors to the historical site had the chance to see and tour the mosque, mausoleum and many historical buildings in the Harput District, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, from its curved minaret, which is registered even more inclination than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, to the Harput Castle. Some citizens enjoyed the holiday by barbecue in picnic areas. Hayrettin Aytekin stated that they came to Harput as a family; "The weather was nice at the weekend, so we thought we'd take a stroll with the kids. It's my first time on the viewing terrace, too. It's nice, well done to those who did it. Harput is a historical place in our Elazığ. Everyone should come and see it." Batuhan Aşkın Doğan said, “We are now in Harput, which is a historical and cultural place. You can find historical artifacts even on paving stones in its 4,000-year-old historical texture. On the weekends, local and foreign tourists come and stay in the boutique hotel. Tourists love to visit historical places."
