Yes. The old town of honey-coloured stone houses on a hillside overlooking the Mesopotamian plain is unlike anywhere else in Turkey.

Combine it with Midyat and the monasteries nearby. Two nights is a good amount of time.

It gets very hot in summer. Spring and autumn are more comfortable for walking around the old town.
