Upon arriving in Halfeti, we first inhale the serene atmosphere by the banks of the Euphrates and set off to explore the old and new settlement areas. With its historic stone houses, narrow streets, and unique architectural texture, Old Halfeti serves as an open-air studio for photography enthusiasts. Afterwards, we board a boat to glide through the cool waters of the Euphrates, accompanied by our guide's narration while viewing the Rumkale and the sunken city. The submerged minaret and remnants of old villages illustrate the longing for the past and the lives altered by the dam waters.
During our boat tour, we have the opportunity to observe the impressive structure of Rumkale from afar, listening to fascinating legends about its strategic location and history. As we glide along the river, you'll be accompanied by the rocky formations along the shoreline, caves, and views blended with various shades of green. Guests who wish can capture many photographs during the boat tour, immortalizing these moments.
At noon, we take a break for lunch at one of the local restaurants overlooking the Euphrates. The local delights, especially the fish and kebab varieties, enrich our palates. After lunch, during your free time, you can savor your tea or coffee while feeling the "calm city" spirit of Halfeti and shop for souvenirs in small gift shops.
Listening to the story of the "Black Rose," which is the symbol of the region depending on the season, is one of the most special moments of our tour. As we leave Halfeti around sunset, the reflection of the crimson light on the Euphrates and the unique views you leave behind will stay in your memory. In the evening, we return to our starting point, bringing our "Day Trip to Halfeti" to an end while sending you off with the peace of having left behind a unique day intertwined with history, nature, and a sorrowful beauty.
