Mezopotamya Tango Maratonu: Zamanın ve Dansın İçinde Bir Yolculuk

Targonun büyüsünü tarihin başladığı yerde hissedin. Sizleri Yukarı Mezopotamya’nın iki kadim ruhu olan Diyarbakır ve Mardin arasında unutulmaz bir yolculuğa davet ediyoruz.

Diyarbakır’ın tarihi surlarından Eski Mardin’in güneşle yıkanan altın sokaklarına kadar attığınız her adım, yüzyılların kültürüyle yankılanacak. Bu sadece bir maraton değil; kadim medeniyetlere, yöresel lezzetlere ve tangonun zamansız kucağına bir yolculuktur.

Yolculuğumuzun Öne Çıkanları:

Diyarbakır (16–18 Eylül): 16 Eylül ya da 17 Eylül'de Diyarbakır Havaalanına geliyor ve Diyarbakır Plaza Hotel Check-in yapıyoruz. Açılış milongaları, geleneksel yöresel kahvaltı ve Antik Kent turu.

Geçiş (19 Eylül): Mardin’e transfer sırasında nefes kesici Dara Antik Kenti ziyareti.

Mardin (19–20 Eylül): Tarihi bir Konakta akşam yemeği, eski kentin mistik atmosferinde gündüz milongaları ve Pazar akşamı büyük Kapanış Milongası. 21 Eylül'de Hotel Check-out yapıyor ve Mardin Havaalanından ayrılıyoruz. 

Tarihin nefes aldığı bu topraklarda bizimle dans etmeye gelin. Sizinle pistte buluşmak için sabırsızlanıyoruz!
