While Diyarbakir may be a little known city, it is actually one of the larger places in Turkey. The population of the city is only 843,000 (as of the 2010 census), but the area draws in plenty more tourists. While in the area, make sure you go to the Syriac Orthodox Church of Our Lady, a building that dates back to 1st century BCE. While situated in the heart of Turkey, 72% of the people living in this area speak Kurdish rather than Turkish even though the majority can speak fluent Turkish. Diyarbakir airport is a great way to get to the city of Diyarbakir. However, it is not the only way to get here.
