Big and quiet monastery with priests and students living inside, certainly worth visiting. Koryakos is a very kind guide. Don't expect shops/cafes around like they have in Deyrulzafaran, so go prepared.

This monastery in the Mardin region is a historical place. Built in the 5th century A.D. well maintained. Very clean. The view from the monastery is very attractive.

You are a wonderful monastery. You can travel in groups with an aristocratic guide. You must see the church which is very special and holy in the Syriac tradition.

Amazing Syriac Catholic monastery founded in the year 397 and still functioning. The entrance fee is less than $2 that comes with a guided tour. I even got invited to tea with the Bishop. If this wasn't in Turkey it would be a UNESCO World Heritage site. You need to make an effort to get here but so worth your time. It is a testament to the rapid expansion of early Christianity under the Byzantine Roman Emporers. Saint Gabriel, the founder of the monastery wedged himself between two narrow walls so he could pray for days on end standing. You can see his grave. He was buried standing up. The early history of a religion (Christianity) that changed our world struggling to survive in a newer religion (Islam) that will change our world even more. Do not miss this visit!

Assyrians have so much history in those regions and this is a beautiful example of one. Assyrians still live in the area and are so friendly. recommended.
