Old Halfeti

Halfeti was submerged under water due to the construction of a dam in the 1990, and a new town was built 15 kilometres away. As a result, the settlement is divided into Old Halfeti and New Halfeti. The old Halfeti can be reached by renting a boat, and it offers a nostalgic view of semi-submerged houses, trees, minarets, and monuments. One of the most iconic views is from the half-sunken minaret of Savasan village at Halfeti. The houses in Halfeti are made of stone, have two stories, and a flat roof. They are all parallel to each other, facing the Euphrates River.

BakIrcIlar CarsIsI

Coppersmith Bazaar (Bakırcılar Çarşısı) This is the historical market of copper-smith shoppers. It takes its name from the copper items sold here. Copper craftsmanship, which has a history of 400 years, is still carried out in this bazaar. Copper is transformed into cups, trays and coffee pots in the hands of the masters. The traditional shops lined up in the bazaar are still resisting the test of time, as they have for centuries. The pleasure of wandering around in the authentic atmosphere where handmade copper is sold, surrounded by large and small shops, is completely different.
