Batman, which has embraced many civilizations for centuries, including the Mongols and Romans, is one of our cities that stands out with its historical richness.

If you are visiting this city without your car, you can enjoy the privileges of Budget, which has a special place among Batman car rental companies and witness the magic of the city by renting your car from the Budget branch at Batman Airport.

Hasankeyf, located on the banks of Tigris River and turned into a protected area in 1981, is the most important historical settlement in the region that attracts tourists. Hasankeyf, which used to be the scientific and cultural center of the region with its madrasah, observatory and trade routes, is now in danger of being flooded due to GAP project. We recommend you to see Hasankeyf before it is completely submerged.

You can also see the ZeynelBey Cupola, a monumental tomb from the Akkoyunlu State, and the HallanÇemi Mound, which belongs to the Neolithic period, in Batman, the city of civilizations. MorKiryakus, MorAho Monasteries, Hızır Bey and İbrahim Bey Mosques are among the historical places of worship you can see in this region.

You must stop by Yolgeçen Inn on your way to Hasankeyf. You will see that the phrase "yolgeçen hanı" that we often use in our daily life is actually derived from a place that really existed in history. Yolgeçen Inn is a natural cave with a capacity of approximately 1000 people, located under Hasankeyf Castle.

This cave was one of the places where people used to relax during periods when transportation was provided by rafts and boats on the Tigris River. Today, it has become one of the stopovers for those who go to Hasankeyf.
