Rent a Car in Downtown Batman

Rent a car in Batman city center and explore the rich historical landscape of southeastern Turkey with 2 rental companies to choose from. Batman city is located approximately 95 km west of Diyarbakır and about 55 km north of Midyat, in the heart of the Tigris River's historic region. From here, you can reach Hasankeyf – one of Turkey's oldest inhabited places – in just 35 km.

Batman is located near the ancient Hasankeyf on the Tigris River, approximately 35 km to the south – a UNESCO-nominated cultural heritage site with caves and medieval ruins. Deyrul Zafaran Monastery near Mardin is reached in approximately 90 km to the south. The Ilısu Dam has transformed the Tigris Valley landscape, but new Hasankeyf visitor sites have been established.

Drive south toward Hasankeyf early in the morning for the best light and fewer visitors – the journey takes approximately 35 minutes. Fill up your tank in Batman before heading toward Midyat and Mardin – gas stations are scarcer in villages between towns. An SUV is recommended if you plan to visit remote monasteries on the Tur Abdin plateau.
