Siirt is a province and city in southeastern Turkey, nestled in a mountainous landscape carved by the Botan River. Known as a city of prophets due to its ancient tombs and Islamic heritage, Siirt blends centuries of history with vibrant Kurdish and Arabic cultural traditions. The city is renowned throughout Turkey for its famous Siirt perde pilavi (curtain rice with chicken), its distinctive hand-woven blankets (bürümcük), and its world-class pistachios. Off the main tourist trail, Siirt offers authentic experiences, warm hospitality, and dramatic mountain scenery for adventurous independent travelers.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Perde pilavi must be ordered at least 2 hours in advance — call the restaurant the morning of planned visit
Buy pistachios by weight at bazaar stalls rather than pre-packaged — the quality is identical and 30-40% cheaper
Friday Morning Market (07:00-09:00) is when the freshest produce and cheese arrives
Çökelek (local goat cheese) does not keep long; consume within 2-3 days and do not attempt to fly with it
Ask vendors to show you how to open fresh pistachios — technique matters for the best flavor
