Tips for travellers;

You can either go by car or catch a regular minibus going to Harran. When you Harran the children will  be waiting and surround you.  All these children can guide you the land. My recommendation to you to travel with one these children as the adults will invite you to old historic  houses to have a rest and drink tea to decept you to buy one of their goods or products. All houses in the land protected by government. It’s banned to build new houses but all houses courtyards turned to a cafe.  Local people trying to earn money from the visitors and all invite you to their courts.
