Historic city of Mardin enjoys tourism revival

With its historic architecture, characteristic city landscape, diverse cuisine and a culture of coexistence of Muslims and Christians, Mardin has become one of the fabulous tourist destinations in Turkey, especially after calm that has replaced conflict between the Turkish security forces and the PKK following the collapse of a peace process in the summer of 2015. Around 3 million tourists visited the city in the last 11 months of this year, a considerable hike in the numbers.
