Mardin

Blue minibuses dolmuş connect the Yenişehir suburb lit. "New City", newer and lower suburb at the entrance of the city with the old city Eski Mardin. They cost 0.90 TL/person. The steep road between new and old cities might be taken in 30-40 minutes on foot, however it will be a very demanding walk for sure, especially during the peak of summer heat.

Old city is small enough to be negotiated on foot, with the distance between one end to another not exceeding half an hour on the main street. And you will certainly not find any vehicle of any kind on twisty and staired narrow alleys.
