Savur is all about wandering the backstreets and admiring this small town's glut of gorgeous stone houses. The town is a smaller version of Mardın, with its houses spilling around a little citadel, and interesting facades at every turn.
Time seems to have stood still here, and there's an easygoing feel, which manages to charm nearly everyone who visits.
There's not actually many things to do. Instead, Savur is about soaking up the atmosphere and exploring the squiggling alleyways. It makes a great day trip from Mardın if combined with the archaeological site of Dara.
