- Most tourists to Turkey go to the popular seaside destinations on the west coast. After visiting Mardin in the eastern corner of Turkey we are left wondering why don't more tourists visit?

What do you think - if you had a choice would you visit the touristy west of Turkey or the not so visited East of Turkey - let us know - Hope you enjoyed the video - we loved the east of Turkey - Big hugs Chris & Marianne xx
Eastern Turkey is wonderfull. I visited several times. First time in 1973 against all warnings. So friendly and so much to see. Do not fotget to visit Harran
I love that you shut Trudy's door and you go back centuries and you're jovial like a kid.
Mırra Cafe very strong ...
I think it's a litlle bit similar with Istanbul, the european side and the asian side of the city, when you discovered the asian side of Istanbul, you dont want to go back back to the tustique side. Same with the eastern Turkey, when you discover this part of the country you dont to go back tu the other side.
I love you videos from Turkey, you are doing a wonderfull job.
Really enjoyed the video. I have visited the East of Turkey many times, as my husband is from Adiyaman. I absolutely love the Eastern Turkey, the people are so friendly and hospitable, the scenery is stunning. I am so glad you are enjoying visiting this part of Turkey. You should really visit Mount Nemrut in Adiyaman if you can, it is stunning. People go there to watch the sunrise and see the statues change colours, it's an unforgettable experience. Safe travels from the UK.
did my military service in Kızıltepe district, 40 kilometers south. Syrian border region between 2006 and 2007. Mardin and Şanlıurfa, our provinces with a very deep history, the region between the Euphrates River and the Tigris River are the regions where humanity first practiced agriculture, and the Mesopotamian plain in Mardin looks magnificent on the south side. I stayed there as a soldier for a full year.. Chris and marianne
Thank you for sharing your story 🌸
I can’t wait to visit Turkey, what a beautiful and amazing country. Pandemic has put travel plans on hold. So looking forward to travel again.
Actually, the region where humanity first practiced agricultural endeavours is the levant region of Palestine Israel Jordan South West Syria and Lebanon
These people carried e1b1b y dna, the dna of Afroasiatic Cushites such as Somalis, Berbers, Egyptians etc and their name is Natufians
@@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505 Where did you hear such madness? The people of the levant, are not "cushitic" at all! They are "Semitic" .Hilarious
@@babox8244 are you daft ? Where did I say modern levantines are Cushites ? I clearly said the first human farmers were natufians from the levant, and one group directly descended in their paternal ancestry from Natufians (y dna haplogroup) are Cushites (as well as berbers and Egyptian copts and felahin tribe of Egypt) who carry the highest frequency of natufian related e1b1b dna in any modern ethnic group across the world this is a simple genetic fact
Hello from Hamburg! I have been in Mardin 2Month ago and you are right: It was amazing. We also went to Urfa, Midiyat and Diyarbakir and for me it was a great experience traveling in the southeast of Turkey. It s complete different from the western part, where we usually stay.
So cool!
come to nemrut mountain and gazıantep zeugma museum
@@admiral20055 .. dann bleib doch in deinem St.Pauli und Reperbahn. Außerdem warum postest du so ein Blödsinn, was willst du damit erreichen ? Es geht darum andere Länder, Kulturen, Menschen kennen zu Lernen .. also verhalte dich angemessen.
Its actually because its a whole different country that should be there, named Kurdistan !
An amazing city! We, here in America, have a history that goes back to the 1700’s. Imagine a history that goes back thousands of years! The buildings are so strong and solid! It’s overwhelming! Thank you for sharing! 🤙
Actually its around 9-11k years ^^
It really is incredible and being in the birthplace of civilisation ... wow - we have just been blown away !! love to you both 🌺
I think it's a fair question, why do you feel entitled to destroy it? ((from Italy)
History of USA is also thousands of years old,if we are willing to count native american history as ours
@@nomorenews But you cant soz..History not work like that..And beleive me the ppl on THİS side still have MORE common culture and dna with Native americans also..Remember most of those natives came from HERE pass to bering strait..Most of have Turanian roots.
Welcome to Mardin, one of the most historical cities of humanity.
Thanks for taking us around Mardin. The answer to the question in the video title, why don’t Western tourists visit Mardin: people won’t visit such a wonderful, hospitable place, if they don’t know about it, so more people need to watch this video. My bucket list of places to visit is now one place longer, and the list is now so big that it won’t fit in a bucket. Maybe it’ll fit in a bathtub, but not that tiny bathtub in the Mardin Museum 🛁
You are absolutely right !! thank you David
This is my city …great and amazing historical place
I know some people have said this before, but although you must miss many things back in the U.K. you really are in paradise in Turkey so don’t rush back. I wish I was there.
without ever having been there, this city will always remind me of "Assassin's Creed".
a city out of time that we visit like in a dream.
Greetings from Algeria and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the visit and we are glad you enjoyed the video
Cos All Assasins trained to kill Turkic Sultans :s lolo
Very nice
09:00 The preparation stage of this MIRRA coffee (MARDIN MIRRA coffee), you drank the cooked version of it at 13:00 minutes of your video.
The preparation recipe I got from another site: "Roasted coffee beans are pounded in mortars called dibek, ground into powder and left to boil in pots. As they boil, the foam that accumulates on it is separated from the grounds and sediment and stirred occasionally during boiling. After a few hours of boiling, it is rested and left to cool. After the coffee cools down, then it is filtered with the help of a strainer or cheesecloth and removed from the pulp. After this process, the coffee that is continued to be boiled is boiled until it reaches a dark, dense and molasses-like consistency. It is preferable to do this process slowly over a charcoal fire, on a low flame. At the last stage, when it is believed that it has reached the consistency, optionally cardamom is added and the final boiling process is terminated with cardamom. No sugar is added to Mırra coffee and it is drunk without sugar."
10:24 Mardin special almond candy. It gets its blue color from the dye obtained from the root of the Lahore tree. In addition, cinnamon is used in the brown ones, while the white ones are just sugar coating.
11:33 It says Tar Soap on the cardboard. It becomes dark brown in color and smells like burnt plastic. A healing soap made from the tar of the juniper tree. As it is written on the same cardboard, it provides rapid healing because it is antibacterial against skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, fungus, scabies and acne. It is one of the soaps used by traditional medicine. On the cardboard below, it says BITTIM Soap, the green ones. This is made from menengiç, a type of wild pistachio tree. Menengiç coffee is also made from the same menengiç, it tastes and smells very good.
Other colors should be sulfur soap, clay soap and laurel soap. Especially women use them to get soft skin. You can find all these soaps all over Turkey, but their real origin is the cities of Mardin, Siirt and Hatay.
12:19 These are the municipality's garbage collection donkeys. For years, since the garbage trucks could not fit in the narrow and stairway streets of Mardin, garbage was collected by donkeys this way. When donkeys retire, they are sent to wildlife parks for the rest of their lives. If you have a chance, stop by the natural life park called Ormanya in the city of Kocaeli, east of Istanbul. Also, if you type "ormanya mardin" in Google, you can see the pictures.
Thank you very detailed explanation
Amazing information. Thank you! I think people need to start getting out of Istanbul and Antalya (both beautiful places and I have been to both) and start to see what other parts of Turkey have to offer.
Totally charming, Turkey is sooo different from region to region. Can’t wait to visit again and add these new locations.
Turkish people are very friendly and hospitable we might go there when we start our jouney with our little campervan. I love all your videos and see different places in turkey my no wonder why my british brother inlaw is living in turkey now.
These are Kurds
The city of Mardin is more beautiful than Paris, the goodness of humanity has never been lost.
Let's not go that far.
I was born and raised in Turkey.
But I thought Paris was beautiful and confusing 😃
Umut in search of a good eye doctor :))
@@Rhodope_Kdzh no kidding
İ live there and isn't beautiful at all when you come you will find out 😉
It’s a Kurdish city that’s why, hopefully one day it’s part of a free and democratic Kurdistan
Mardini o kadar güzel tanıttınızki çekimlerinize hayran kaldım, harika bir vlog olmuş, devamını bekleriz.
Thank you
Thank you Marianne and Chris. Mardin what a stunning gorgeous place!
i was there 2 months ago (my friend live there) and i must say. it is most beautiful place where i ever been ... i love that city so much ... i felt like i belong there
Those views!!! 😱😱😱 It's like looking out over history! Amazing that a city so old and teeming with history still seems so lively & energetic! And so clean & tidy! Breathtaking!!!
It really is !! Just one of the most beautiful and culturally diverse places we have been to 🌺🙌😘
Wonderful video. Mardin looks absolutely stunning. More steps than Bridgnorth and no funicular 😁 Just loving your travels through Eastern Turkey. You are showing how diverse, beautiful, friendly and accessible this whole country is. I can't wait to see what more awaits. That said, have a fabulous, fabulous time at home with family and friends. You deserve a few weeks off catching up, switching off and having fun with those you love best xxx
Thank you !! You too
Huge similarity between the alleys and architecture of Mardin and Jerusalem.
When you said this Salahaddin Eyyubi came to my mind
This might be my favourite episode (although it's tough to choose, as your drive on those Georgian roads was an incredible experience). Mardin looks absolutely spectacular. I love the back streets. And the people seem so friendly. Thank you for highlighting a place that is off the radar for Western tourists.
Thanks Nancy 🌺
That sure it is a mystical country. 😍
I have visited most of the west turkish coast and I dream to visit the East of Turkey!
Hey even a Turkish citizen myself, I haven’t been to Mardin either. It’s on my bucket list but thanks for showing the amazingness in the video !!
No worry. U have plenty of time. When money permits
Çok şey kaçırmış sın Merve kesinlikle gitmelisin bir haftalığına gitmeyi düşündüm geçen yaz tam 42 bir gün kaldım mardinde 👍
I just watched the Mahmut Orhan video, which was filmed in Mardin, and I found amazing. I'm from Mexico and I've only been t Istanbul. I want to visit back Turkey soon, and Mardin is definitely in my bucket list.
Amazing! We hope you get there - we are hoping to visit Mexico - so keep an eye open for Trudy !!
@@TREADtheglobe oh great! Feel welcome to Mexico. Seems you like to stay off the beaten path, so I strongly recommend you to make a road trip by the Sierra Gorda (Fat Mountains), from Querétaro to Xilitla. It's amazing.
Oh my God, that was realy super good idea to stop in Mardin. Long time I am thinking to visit that town. As you said all mix culture, people, history it gives you a place to visit. And all beautiful views. You did a good job and you give us a tip to go East there. I'm a little jealous. Thank you. I can't wait for the next report. Görüşürüz
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it
What a fantastic place, the east of Turkey looks wonderful. I have watched all your wonderful vlogs and thought I should make a comment. We are regulars visiting Kalkan and have booked again for Oct 22, here's hoping we can get there.
Keep up the fantastic work, we love you both.
Jim & Jenny xxx
Thank you both
Wow, never thought Mardin would be such a good place to travel. We will definitely make it to Mardin when we visit eastern Turkey. Love & respect from Bangladesh
You can fly from Istanbul to Mardin for 45 €. I am thinking myself to go there.
@@pejcamarjeta8986 great to know. Thanks for the info.
❤️
@@pejcamarjeta8986 its cold now lol
@@aqwsderxz so. At the moment where are live is minus 15°. I am used to it. Lol.
Good that you're not in Latvia. Yesterday 65 people were hospitalized from slip and fall injuries on ice. One was hit with a falling icicle.
I would ignore the, be careful of this place and go with the, yes, visit this place. I love cities mixed with different cultural influences. Definitely getting your steps in here. It's another must see place to come visit, you two have found another good one to explore. Thanks for the tour and the views......love it!
Thanks Adele - we agree xx
The week never goes quick enough, always waiting for your next video to come out.
Thanks Andrew - we have some more wonderful adventures here in the South East of Turkey !! Woo hoo
We are currently in Turkey heading east and you have just convinced us to visit Mardin 😍
Great 👍
Went there in august. Beautiful city
Mardin looks amazing. You guys are showcasing Turkey so well I feel like I’m there!
absolut richtig
Happy to hear that!
Kurdistan
Türkiye 🇹🇷 çok güzel 👍… Mardin is one of those cities that gets you really close to the Middle East but not actually being in it. The Hatay region of the country is actually considered in the Levant but the culture is still Turkish with some Levantine influences.
What a wonderful place Mardin is, and thank you very much for sharing the wonders of this historic place.👏🇹🇷
Our pleasure!
It’s a Kurdish city, unfortunately occupied by Turks, hopefully one day Kurdistan will be free :)
@@mikeriley3556 It was never k*rdistan. So dont dream
@@mikeriley3556 Where did you get the wrong information about Merdin. Before you talk about it, find some historic information about it. Mardin was NEVER EVER a Kurdish city.
@@WilliamGMalek Mardin is 90% Kurdish, and the Turks invaded from Mongolia, it was NEVER EVER turkish, it will always be Kurdish
1991 senesinde askerlik sebebiyle gördüğüm kadim şehir mardin,belkide türkiyenin en tarihi en güzel şehri.
Bende mardin nusaybin subaşına gezmeye gittim.Şehmus arkadasım vardı.Tabelalar 3 dil o zamanlar bdp vardı.Kadınlar dışarda ekmek yapıyor.Sokaklar dar damlı dışarda olan tuvaletler vs Gerçek kürtleri orta tanıyorsun zaten İstanbuldaki dızolar değil git o insanların yanına açım de aç bırakmazlar.Evlerde keklik besliyorlar.Allah eksik etmesin Oradaki yaşayan Arap Kürtleri Ama suriyeden gelenleri sevmiyorum.Yalan yok bende Iraklı kürtleri sevmediğim gibi :)
What an amazing place, spectacular!
We agree!
So glad you enjoyed the beautiful city of Mardin
My husband comes from there and is very proud of his region.
Great video, thank you Chris and Marianne 🌞
Glad you enjoyed it
They say is an amazing city
Looks absolutely beautiful 😍 thank you
Excellent video. Brings back so many memories of our trip around Turkey in 2008. Looks like the town has not changed at all. Looking forward to the next video
Glad you enjoyed it
Fab drone work 👌 Mardin looks absolutely beautiful. The east has so much to offer it seems - I feel another destination going on the Turkish bucket list 😅
What a fabulous place Mardin is thanks for showing us around.
Glad you enjoyed it
Like in the movie wow🤩
I love Mardin
It is pure magic
It’s really nice to see Mardin again and see that hospitality, thank you so much guys☺️🙏🏼 have fun at your marvellous adventure, take care 😽🕺🏼😇

Wow, what a wonderful town Mardin looks and thanks for sharing it with us👍
I absolutely want to see Mardin. That town is so fascinating, overlooking the Mesopotamiun valley. It's so fascinating. Thank you or another awesome video. Those views from the drone and up from the top were beautiful.
It really is! Absolutely one of our favourite places to visit in Turkey !
@@TREADtheglobe
Bangladeshi people are one of the most friendly , caring , hospital able and gentle people you may ever heard off !
Such a beautiful city
La İlahe İllallah Muhammedur Rasûlullah ☪️🇹🇷
I just finished watching this video for the 2nd time. No wonder God chose this part of the world to start the civilization of humanity. Spectacular!!!❤
As a Turkish person born and raised in the Netherlands, it is interesting to discover Turkey through your eyes. An absolutely enchanting video really.
Great video, love Turkey! This summer will be travelling to Alacati and Selimiye both on the Aegean seashore from London. Plus we as Azerbaijanis have an advantage of speaking Turkish, so we always love it there, never disappoints!
Sounds great!
People here are saying "how different mardin is compared to western Turkey"...duuh ofcourse it is. Mardin is populated mostly by kurds and they have different culture than turks
OMG!! don’t you just LOVE Turkish Health & Safety🤣😂🤣
Another FANTASTIC journey. I totally agree the chat and laughter of the children is wonderful.
Mmmmm!!! love the Crystallised Fruits.
Stay safe and happy onward journey.
🏴🏴🏴❤️
Thank you - and yes kids laughter is the best medicine !! xx
We love you guys:-) great video with the way shooting and the editing work. thank you for being an ambassador of Turkey!. I love so much and enjoy it every minute of the video. when you are happy in my home country that makes me happy as well!.:-) take care!.
Thanks Steve 🌺
I’m glad you guys enjoyed your visit to Turkey
Love Mardin and looking forward to seeing more of it next time. Thanks! ❤️
Abraham , Moses , Peter .... biblical significant persons mentioned on your journeys who lived thousand years ago in eastern of Turkey . Such a rich history , culture of Turkey . It was inviting then of your vlogs of this region. Sadly ... having to watch again after the recent earthquake , its heartbrraking . No wonder there are many historical / heritage sites buried underneath , unearth or still to be discovered. Your travel vlogs on it should be preserve because its beauty is now buried again under the rubbles.
During my first watch of this vlog a year ago , what stayed in my mind is the mobile tea man , his smiles and tea pot. I pray he survived .
It's just an incredible place!!!
another breathtaking video! you are adorable to share with us all your beautiful experiences. Thank you!
This is the best coverage of Mardin that I have ever seen. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you 🙏 Marianne and Chris
I loved Mardin when I visited Gobeklitepe. Such beautiful places indeed 🥰💖💓
What an amazing city Mardin is...love it!...thank you for showing us this amazing place...👍
Chris & Marianne: Love you two!
Such wonderful energy and enthusiasm you display as you share your journey through AMAZING Turkey, with us.
So glad I found your “Tread the Globe” You Tube Channel. I love your videos.
What a FABULOUS video on Mardin!!!
Obsessed with Turkish Series, I first came across this historic city in the series: “HERCAI.”
It was filmed in this most historic city.
Being a lover of ancient history, it led me to do additional research on Mardin. FASCINATING!
Thank You for taking us on such a beautiful tour of this AMAZING city.
Turkey is on my bucket list & now Mardin is included.
♥️from 🇨🇦
Hi Janet and thank you - we love that we have shared a new place for you to love ! It was just a fabulous place and deffo one for the bucket list !! M 🌷

Wow, what a beautiful city!
Absolutely !
Thank you.
Very interesting place today the lunch looked very good
That in the distance ...that there Syria is beautiful.
I took a coach thru Turkey into Syria 25 years ago , and spent many weeks with a guide and taxi touring the deserted ruins of many a castle or byzantine church.
Would spend days decrypting early Christian iconography ,on churches whose architecture and setting beats anything Europe has to offer.
Sitting under a half collapsed golden stone dome in church where no body has worshipped in centuries , or on a window which hasn't seen any glass in a thousand years ,,, and the views ...!!!!
Truly beautiful place , cheap at the time ,practically had it to myself, but I'm not so sure its a safe today as it was ....sort of....then
You guys are totally educating me at age 60, I need to get further in the van 🤣
Turkey is a van dream ... Enjoy
wawww what an Amazing place! Turkish are the most wonderful and kind People that I've ever met. Congratulations! love your vídeos!
I liked the soudtracks you used in this video Cris! You are doing it better at each video :) Enjoy your trip in Eastern Turkey! Love and Peace!

Towards the end where the person came up to welcome you to His home town and shake your hand plus the lady inviting you into her house
