Diyabakir, old town


 The black and white basalt makes for a lovely architectural piece, a converted caravansaray now houses restaurants and cay shops. The restaurants here serve only a special breakfast, a very elaborate meal called a kavalti. The guidebook recommends skipping your hotel breakfast and head over here for the kavalti. But we didn't have time.







Minarets dot the skyline but an old church can still be found sprinkled among the chaos.
