If you want a quick tour of Siirt, start with the area famous for its rock-carved “cas” houses, then move on to the Tomb of İsmail Fakirullah. If you are hungry, we recommend Perde Pilavı and Büryan Kebabı. You can also sample the famous pistachios of the region. While in the Bazaar, look for Bıttım soap, Siirt blankets and the world-famous Jirkan rugs. Another indispensable section of the market is, of course, the Coppersmith’s Bazaar. Here, you can immerse yourself in the rhythm of the music created by the coppersmiths’ hammers.
