Today we explored Mardin, a kurdish majority city here in Southeastern Turkey.

We kicked off the day with our first Turkish breakfast in a little local market before buying some of Mardin's iconic blue almonds we found being made fresh in an alleyway.

We then explored the ancient city of Mardin's streets and tried to find an old church, we ended up being pulled into an old lady's house who offered us some delicious Syrian wine and then sold us a bottle!

Next we went for our first tea here in Turkey followed by a delicious fresh falafel wrap.

While walking around we had seen a man carrying a funny looking drink on his back so we tracked him down and bought a glass. I can't say this was my favourite drink to be honest ahah.

We then explored Mardin city a little more, found a tea shop selling famous pigeons and had some super fresh lahmacun.

First day in Turkey's kurdish southeast was fantastic.
