About Renting a Car at Diyarbakır Airport
Diyarbakır Airport (DIY) is located 8 km southwest of the city center and is the main airport for all of Southeast Anatolia, with 20 rental companies. From here you have quick access to UNESCO-listed basalt walls, the Tigris region, and Mesopotamia's historic landscape. Pick up your rental car upon arrival and drive to the old city center in 15 minutes.
Diyarbakır's old city with its sour walls is reached in 15 minutes' drive. Mardin is 100 km to the south via D950, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Şanlıurfa (Urfa), known as Abraham's birthplace, is 185 km to the west.
Choose a car with GPS or download offline maps - mobile networks can be unreliable outside cities. Plan Mardin and Midyat as a two-day trip with an overnight stay - there are more attractions than one day allows. Check the rental company's policy for driving in border regions if you plan visits near the Syrian border.
