Sanliurfa simply reeks with atmosphere. It is as if you were transported back 100 years or more. Areas of the city contain craftsman and worker using techniques rarely seen today. The residents here are not overrun with Western tourist like Turkey's coastline and life seems unchanged and unaffected by the West. Yet there are still nice hotels, good food and a wondeful experinece. I would go back in a heartbeat!

SANLIURFA IS SITUAED IN THE MIDDLE OF ANATOLIAN HISTORY.BEAUTIFULL SURROUNDINGS AND HISTORICAL MONUMENTS. SANLI MEANS "GLORIOUS" BEEN GIVEN BY ATATÜRK WHILE HE WAS THE CHIEF OF THE STATE AFTER THE LIBERATION WAR. THE SANLIURFA IS FAMOUS WITH "URFA KEBAB" MAINLY MEAT ORIENTED KITCHEN.
THE TOURISM IS STARTING TO BE SERIOUSLY FOLLOWED AND BELIEVE COMING NEXT 2-3 YEARS THE CITY WILL BE VISITED OFTEN.
