21/10/09 DEYRULZAFERAN MONASTERY NEAR MARDIN
In the afternoon we visited another typical orthodox monastery which was not far from Mardin, in an area surrounded by pistachio plants, cultivated by the monks and which provides them with their most important income to survive in those areas. Rock carving and silver wearing are most important sources of income, too. In the distance, we can see a sort of holes on the top of the mountains which used to be inhabited in ancient times.
